Description
Network Rail had a blockade on the Brighton Mainline to replace life-expired tracks inside the Clayton Tunnel - a well known landmark down in Sussex. So I went for a look to see how it's done, and got to go for a walk inside the tunnel too!

My thanks to Chris (as always!) and everyone from Network Rail for inviting me along, it's always a priviledge to be able to go on site visits like this.
