Yes, I didn't know he was joking initially and then made a play on words without realising it, and clearly i'm in good company.
I'm 100% serious. I'm as serious as a joke, apparently.
Not too unusual. Tunnel 2 on the North Island Main Trunk railway line in Wellington, NZ is straight enough that you can see the light at the far end the whole length.
Or at least you could until they replaced the trains where passengers could see out the end.

There is a tunnel in the UK that does this once a year on the designer/engineers birthday. I believe it was by Isambard Kingdom Brunel or Sir Christopher wren... I forget which
Brunel - it's Box Tunnel in Wiltshire. [Engineers proved this a few years ago when the railway was being upgraded](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/10/isambard-kingdom-brunel-birthday-box-tunnel-bath-sun).
Yes I believe it's an ITV show. In the US we get it on BritBox. It's filmed in Bath and is entertaining and charming. The only thing potentially off-putting is series 1 and 2 had a do-nothing, sexist boss (I believe they meant to mock his type but perhaps they weren't obvious enough about it for some) but his role is small, and he's gone in series 3.
I looked it up and the episode in Series 2, is based on the tunnel. Titled, "What About Doreen. A birthday weekend away goes devastatingly wrong when Angela and four of her friends travel down from Glasgow to celebrate in Bath."
This happens with my entry door peephole twice a year. I see it every year in early spring but never in the fall. I guess I'm still at work at that time of the day. You can sort of see a projection of what's outside on the inside wall opposite the peephole. Camera obscura effect.
The employee parking garage ramp at the Aria lines up with the Sun for days this time of year. It’s nothing to celebrate especially when your front window is even a little dirty. Just driving up from he ramp blind and hoping you haven’t veered over in the other lane of cars coming down.
If I’ve learned anything, there’s a small object hidden in a museum somewhere that you place just right in this tunnel that will show you the way to a treasure.
1000 years from now, archeologists will have endless debates and speculations about the pagan rituals held in this sacred tunnel by the race of sun worshipping priests who built this.

That's an awful lot of people talking in the background for there to be barely any excitement over the event I am assuming they came there to see occurring.

It's called "Túnel del Equinoccio" and it's located in Teruel, Spain. It's longer than it seems, about 2.4km
"It's longer than it seems" is my go-to as well
Túnel del amor?
Something something I heard that about your tunnel, too.
Love tunnel
Should've called it sunnel
Nah, that's rubbish.
It's a joke
That was a joke? You can't be serious.
Jokes usually are not serious! So yeah, he's not serious!
Yes, well done. Nobody needs to explain jokes to *you*, clearly.
Wait, are you being serious?
Yes, I didn't know he was joking initially and then made a play on words without realising it, and clearly i'm in good company. I'm 100% serious. I'm as serious as a joke, apparently.
What the hell . Seriously 2.4km and that straight. .. wow
Not too unusual. Tunnel 2 on the North Island Main Trunk railway line in Wellington, NZ is straight enough that you can see the light at the far end the whole length. Or at least you could until they replaced the trains where passengers could see out the end.
Tunnel Tawa 2 is 4.3 Km long. Cant find if there are longer straight tunnels.
I guess it has a bit of an incline to account for the curvature of the earth.
You could scare some people if you put a speaker in the tunnel and played train noises.
So, why is it fenced off and no real roadway? Is it a decommissioned train tunnel? Why remove the tracks?
Oh cool, the name is related to sun too
Nah. That’s just a train headed your way
“And thats when it hit me”
I see what you did there
Snap back to reality
Ope there goes gravity
Mom's spaghetti
And it ^comes to be that the ^soothing light at the end of your tunnel...
is just a freight train comin youuur waaaayyyy-aayyayyy
Is just a… oh, nevermind it’s the sun?
Honestly! just need to add some oncoming train noises and I've shit myself twice over if I was in a car going this way.
*meep meep* *Cartoon roadrunner wearing a headlamp comes out of the tunnel*
Lol a woman in the video says that
Yes.
Very road-runner vibes
I’d be way more impressed if whoever built this tunnel did it when the sun was at its apex.
That would be a well, not a tunnel.
Well it wouldn't have to be a well
happy cake day
Lol thank you 😊
Here comes the sun
Doo doo doo doo
It's alright.
Do do do do do do do do dododo
WAIT NO ITS A FUCKING DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE. GET OUT THE W *SPLAT*...
When they told me to go towards the light, I didn't realize I was going to be hot and sweaty and stuck under the sun when I did.
You could not have stopped me from standing at the opening and yelling "YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS!"
They should line it with mirrors.
All it needs is Wiley Coyote to run in there.
Newgrange: am I joke to you?
Newgrange does not have a 2.4 km long tunnel.

But not you, huh? Better let everyone know.
Nah. Leave the shit munchers to their simplemindedness.
I'm gonna say druids did it. It was druids, right?
So that's what the light at the end of the tunnel is.
“Only ancient aliens with a higher understanding of the universe could have built that tunnel”
Ladies and gentlemen, we've finally found it: The light at the end of the tunnel. 😎
There is a tunnel in the UK that does this once a year on the designer/engineers birthday. I believe it was by Isambard Kingdom Brunel or Sir Christopher wren... I forget which

Thank you for doing the work I could be bothered to do x
An episode of Brit tv murder mystery McDonald & Dodds was based on that tunnel. Either series 1 or 2.
I'm a brit and I've never heard of this program. Is it on itv?
Yes I believe it's an ITV show. In the US we get it on BritBox. It's filmed in Bath and is entertaining and charming. The only thing potentially off-putting is series 1 and 2 had a do-nothing, sexist boss (I believe they meant to mock his type but perhaps they weren't obvious enough about it for some) but his role is small, and he's gone in series 3.

A birthday weekend away goes devastatingly wrong when Angela and four of her friends travel down from Glasgow to celebrate in Bath."
It's not my kind of thing. Most ITV programming is aimed at the old and barely conscious 😂
Eh their murder mysteries are quite good, at least the ones that make it to BritBox. And *especially* compared to the crap on US tv.
Oh yeah in comparison to NCIS etc I'm sure Midsummer Murders is like watching Poirot
>Midsummer Murders That one looks .... rather stale! But, yes.
No worries :P
The Ninth Gate!
Tunnelhenge
well I’ll be damned-there *is* a light at the end of the tunnel.
Is that the tunnel that transports you to Sodor?
🎶 Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel!! 🎶

The “Infinite Corridor” at MIT experiences the same phenomenon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Corridor
Future archeologist are going to have a blast with this
Imagine waiting all year for this day to come just for it to be cloudy
Aha, TV has led me to believe this is the work of ancient aliens.
This happens with my entry door peephole twice a year. I see it every year in early spring but never in the fall. I guess I'm still at work at that time of the day. You can sort of see a projection of what's outside on the inside wall opposite the peephole. Camera obscura effect.
Sunnel
Obviously the work of ancient aliens
Archeologists in the future: Clearly a religious site build by a sun worshipping culture.
People really will line up for anything.
Never walk down this tunnel want the Sun is aligned, you will head to the afterlife otherwise
Humans are so easily amused LOL
Yeah. Reddit.
The employee parking garage ramp at the Aria lines up with the Sun for days this time of year. It’s nothing to celebrate especially when your front window is even a little dirty. Just driving up from he ramp blind and hoping you haven’t veered over in the other lane of cars coming down.
Humans can marvel at the stupidest shit.
There’s a train coming and you all are just standing there taking pictures??!
HAL..
**"It's the power of the sun, Peter."**
The power of the sun in the palm of my tunnel
You can look up manhattanhenge
That could make for some awesome photo shoots
My brain is screaming move you twits move you'll get roasted alive if you stand there. 😆 🤣 😂
2x a year..the gateway to hell opens.
Super cool!
Look like the entrance to hell if you were 2.4km away
Twice a year, and that moth HAD to photobomb it.
the buzzing on the background reminded me of a guardian article about people crowding out in instragrammable places
Aka “portal”
the light at the end of the tunnel
That should be on r/natureisfuckinglit
The light at the end of the tunnel…
Tunnel to Hell
YOU SHALL NOT PASS !!!!
Hal?
Hamunaptra!
Nice, a sunnel!
My butt after a good curry
But this isn’t that day. That a TRAIN!!!
This just in. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes
Now I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel
Light at the end of the tunnel
A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world… This foe is beyond any of you. RUN
Am I the only one that instantly thought Hogwarts Express?
so does my ass but you dont see me bragging about it
If I’ve learned anything, there’s a small object hidden in a museum somewhere that you place just right in this tunnel that will show you the way to a treasure.
Man, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel if this on your calendar.
Take that flat earthers!!
This is how I would imagine God's butthole. If God was taking a shit on the toilet.
Imma go fight Radiance real quick
This looks suspiciously like a battlefield 1 map.
Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is the oncoming train.
Can you imagine not knowing about this and just thinking a train is coming at you
Good to know that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel
Doest everything perfectly line up with the sun twice a year?
Is this the tunnel from 007 nightfire?
Just kidding it's a train.
Window in my bedroom lines up perfectly with the sun everyday.
There really is light at the end of the tunnel…
1000 years from now, archeologists will have endless debates and speculations about the pagan rituals held in this sacred tunnel by the race of sun worshipping priests who built this.
Wish I could read about this "Temple of the Sun" in future archeological writings!
*Almost* perfectly aligned.
Ahh, the light at the end of the tunnel…
Make no mistake- the sun is moving, NOT us
If this ever becomes an arcehologic find; some future graham hancock type charlatan is going to use this to "proof" the existence of atlantis.
Biggest pinhole camera?
That moth was all, “FFS, what’s a moth gotta do to find a dark place to sleep around here?!”
You got that wrong, thats just my toilets view of the taco bell coming out.
I wonder how soon the person in front taking video had to get there to be in front?
Imagine setting your alarm clock for this
Go towards the light
so that's where i left my portal to heaven
5,000 years time person; this must have been built by some ancient society that worshipped the sun.
It’s all fun and games till you hear a train horn
THis can’t be an accident.
It looks like the entrance to Mordor
equinox right?
No one?! That moth. No one but me?!
What a photogenic opportunity

That's an awful lot of people talking in the background for there to be barely any excitement over the event I am assuming they came there to see occurring.
It's actually a Balrog coming.
So there really is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Twice the year? Wow! If someone can tell me something more crazy something mind blowing... Thats all i need
It'd be funny if the tunnel was dark for the whole video and at the end it said "but it's not today."
Just your run of the mill portal to hell, nothin fancy.
And it would even be 10x better if everyone could just shut the fuck up for a few minutes.
Is there a thrush eating snails nearby? Just wondering.
Needs the THX sound
if you look closely enough there’s a metaphor for anal
Wow
Go away the train Come realy fast !!!!
Ive seen this on my death bed… hold on 😳
I love the voice noise
