I've been there. It's very f*** cool. It's sort of like the old underground metro subway stations in Sydney australia. You know the old circular key line with Martin place museum Hyde Park these type of stations on them? I can't remember all the names now but they have that old tiling and the long pedestrian tunnels and I mean just a fantastic kind of vibe to go into them and this tunnel is like that but it goes under the water. I think there might be a similar tunnel in Antwerp, Belgium (great city, awesome Jewish bakeries) I seem to recall having transited such a place in that region too.

This is the tunnel you may have seen: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2019/03/13/the-scheldt-tunnel-in-antwerp/ https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2019/03/13/the-scheldt-tu... The wooden escalator is impressive still working after so many years.

The remaining Sydney subway stations with original tiling and fittings are two beneath Hyde Park: St James, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HauHHw7zkoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HauHHw7zkoM, and Museum, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80MDwect8Y4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80MDwect8Y4

  My favorite feature is that they also have vintage ads. https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sydneytrains/advertise-sydney-trains/historic-advertising https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sydneytrains/advertise-sydn...

Glad you enjoyed it this much. I live in Hamburg and haven't gone there as often as one probably should. It's a really fascinating place.

  In Hamburg one has to go to the Wunderland* (everything else is secondary;)) *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AvGfN4bJ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AvGfN4bJ0
