A tunnel underneath a dock complex and an airport!
Approx 600m long rail tunnel
Double track tunnel, gives way to twin singles in the centre part as it passes under the dock, rumour has it that bigger ships dredged the silt away from teh dock bottom revealing the top of the tunnel archway and it hence was reinforced

Built in 1878 for 2 line service, but following numerous industries shutting down in the area around Victoria dock throughout the 1970's and 1980's the service began to reduce, the silvertown station looks to have been overhauled late 90's or early 00's, despite this the service shut completely in december 2006 with the DLR taking passengers to an all new station just a few hundred metres away.

The tunnel is now being used by the Crossrail development in London for conversion.
