Talk:Burnley Tunnel

Misc
Just a note to record why I edited this article to make it differ from Domain Tunnel (5 Jan 2005).

We didn't actually finish the Burnley tunnel until December 2000 (as those who worked to dry out Swan Lake remember all too well).

The shallow river crossing (sheet-pile cofferdam, half the river's width at a time) was restricted to Domain tunnel. The roadheader on Burnley tunnel went deep under the river and wasn't troubled by the river at all.

The presence of the Yarra had nothing to do with the water ingress problems of the Burnley tunnel - that was all down to the pressures in the Silurian aquifer Burnley passed through. The water pressures were much higher than expected.

It's perhaps a wee bit unfair to say that the deepest parts of the Burnley tunnel still leak (five years after the last inundation). But I suppose under the circumstances (having opened a year late, under higher legal pressure than water pressure) it's still worth recording that the tunnelling engineers didn't come out of this one smelling of roses.

Do we really need separate articles for each of the Citylink Tunnels, can't they be merged with the Citylink article ? Andypasto 04:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Melbourne Tunnel Catastrophe.
As it is unclear whether terrorists were involved, I think we should only mention that this is not yet confirmed. This is definately the best way to go about it. yes. --203.16.24.170 04:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Why mention Al Qa'eda or Terrorism at all? It's not mentioned in the article. It's also unclear if a truck suffered a tyre blowout. Dkam 04:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, let me be more blunt, It's also unclear that the character Bender from the hit TV show Futurama was responsible. Please stop inserting yours ( or other's ) speculation. Dkam 05:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

What on earth?? It was a car crash - suggesting terrorism involvement when there was clearly none serves only to incite fear among the population! Lasiorhinus 05:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I totally agree. When I first heard of this crash, "terrorists" or "Al-Qa'eda" never came to mind. If your reading this and those things did come to your mind, your paranoid. I would suggest you wake up to reality. 124.191.233.89 06:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Truck driver conviction
I think this article needs to be updated to note that the truck driver involved in the 2007 collision has been found guilty? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.37.59.130 (talk) 05:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
