but which roadway was the supply road in? was that y58 tailgate or y59 or something? I remember a clever thing called a GMT curve at the bottom.

These connections are missing from the plan above
Was it not 1 west winnings were the bottom side and 2 west the top side. I remember they carried on with Y63 maingate and holed onto the loco road and eventually put a manrider belt down Y64 so we could get the loco right in to Y25 landing.
Anyone remember how they used Y64 maingate for Y65 tailgate, the girders were nearly touching the ground at the end.
Eventually they holed a Shilbottle road through to Whittle possibly Y31, it came up behind Y58 bunker but think it might just have been for ventilation.
