@ingalls @Edwin085 @BakerRL75 @ai6yr a paved cave? Interesting and slightly concerning

@bud_t @ingalls @Edwin085 @BakerRL75 Google Street View cameras not working so well in the cave, following a (!) tour bus.

@ai6yr Then of course there is Natural Tunnel in Virginia, which carries a rail line through a cave en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_

@bud_t There's an entire thread here of #cars and #trains through #caves, LOL. Then, there is this not-so-driveable cave full of cars (in Wales) bcd-urbex.com/cavern-of-the-lo

@ai6yr @bud_t

the era those cars were being dumped in there (rather than correctly processing them as scrap metal and recycling whatever could be reused) ties in with exactly when Thatcho's government was trying to promote the Welsh Development Board and lots of industries (mostly manufacturing and tech) setting up in Wales - all seeking short term profit without giving a shit about the environment or anything else..

@ai6yr @bud_t @ingalls @Edwin085 @BakerRL75 Why is that concerning? The Jenolan Caves road/tunnel is designed to handles buses (source: me, who took a bus there the only time I've visited)
