What's Underneath Sheffield Station? | The Megatron

Interesting to note that the Victorian stonework and brickwork is still in such good shape!

I often use platform 5A and wondered why there were wooden trapdoor style pieces in the floor. Thought they were good old cellar entrances lol. Knew a lot of the sheaf and stuff are under ground but I never knew they went straight under the train station - cool to see what’s under there!

I am a from Sheffield but I didn't know about these tunnels. Sheffield is full of rivers and canals though and I still have quite spooky dreams of being next to a river with lots of discarded items in it. It must be due to peering over old walls to look at the rivers in the city centre and seeing trolleys, bicycles and tyres!

I've been many times to Sheffield Midland station when I worked on the railway, but I never dreamt that there was the river underneath, and all that assortment of tunnels and bridges going quite some way. That Megatron is completely stunning in size. The amount of building materials must have been colossal in the construction. It must have been quite difficult to fit Sheffield Midland station in amongst the city buildings at the time of its construction, only the original line of the North Midland railway from Derby to Leeds was much earlier and went via the east of the city. Very well filmed, Darren, and many thanks for this showing.

Apparently under Lime Street Station in Liverpool there are vast tunnels like this too!!

Think I just saw Lord Lucan in the background . No seriously though how interesting, respect to the late Victorian engineers and the men who built structures like this .

I was in sheffield in the late 80s early 90s when the station flooded. Now i know why. Thank you.

I love the idea that John Shuttleworth lives in the Megatron, happily playing with his organ.

Ha! A dry summer. I remember when we used to have those.

Absolutely amazing to see what’s under Sheffield. Thank you

Have to admit, I really enjoyed our day out. Looking forward to the next adventure that Martin invites us on!

I used to commute to Sheffield to work . Been through the Midland station many times . Never knew all that was beneath my feet . Thank you for taking me with you on this subterranean journey . Thoroughly enjoyed it .

Lived in Sheffield all my life and fancied the megatron walk each summer but never got around to it. having watched this I don’t think I could do it after all thank you for the virtual tour!

And to think outside of Lego we can’t seem to build anything of a decent standard nowadays even with the technology and tools at our hands. Great video buddy cheers

Cheers Daz for yet another excellent video. I had no idea it was like that under Sheffield Midland. I reminds me of the 'dark arches 'under Leeds station. Amazing to see all the original stone work still in place. Thanks again Daz 😁😁😁

Wow! That was so interesting, incredible to think what's below us. Great video 👍

A superb vlog Darren,cheers.! All the best!

An interesting trip in the underground waterway. Always different from others I’ve seen. Thanks for the video, Darren. Always glad to see you again. Cheers mate!

Some of the finest examples of brick making, and brick laying ever to have them last all these years....😃

Brilliant explore. At least you had plenty company with you. You had a great time and thank you for taking us with you. Superb filming and documenting ad always.
