A fact from Clyde Tunnel appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 July 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Clyde Tunnel in Glasgow was built rather than a bridge to not interfere with shipping, a concern which was out of date by the tunnel's completion?

Untitled[edit]

The tunnels are each 762 metres (2,500 feet) long with a gradient approaching 6 degrees or 1:16.

Someone miscalculated here. A gradient of 6° is 10.5% or 1:9.5, while a 1:16 gradient is just 3.6°. As I cannot judge what the correct number is, I removed the bit about the gradient altogether.

My mistake. I double checked my source and it's 6%, not 6 degrees, which is around 1:16. I've made the correction. --Erath 16:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?[edit]

What the hell is a "snarlup"? Don't use a local colloquialism without linking to an article or a wiktionary entry... --Buddy13 (talk) 07:42, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Press Play & Run podcast[edit]

The press play and run team held a social run in Glasgow November 2023 taking a large group through the southbound tunnel. 2A02:C7E:5A42:5700:48BE:3294:A17C:3743 (talk) 08:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
