Tunnel Tour Season 2026
Tunnel Tours in 2026
The Rhydymwyn Site will not be open over Xmas.
The site is is having a preliminary survey undertaken by Defra, before a full survey by Defra in January 2026.
During that survey, the new management interface between ourselves and Defra will be defined. Following that, it is envisaged that between now and April there will be improvements made in process & communications to restart tunnel tours in April / May 2026.
Building 45 will become a dedicated 'Tube Alloys' building and will be fully populated with story boards and displays in the short term.
Please could all the story boards be collected from P5, P6 & the tunnel area - and moved to our storage area in preparation for 2026.
We will be able to expand on these developments shortly and wish our readers a happy Xmas and a look forward to a successful New Year.
