Herald & Post chief reporter Paul Ferguson was given a rare behind the scenes chance to see what happens in the Hindhead Tunnel when it closes overnight.
Transcript
00:00Going through the tunnel is different, that's normal.
00:02There's no separate roles, we just all get stuck in, so if an alert goes in the tunnel is the fastest thing got.
00:08Wins basically to get an alert.
00:10So there will be a lane two on the northbound side, that will be for the barrier team, mutes,
00:16past persons working or plant equipment, going past the mute, get the driver's attention,
00:22they'll give you the nod and then just drive through at five miles an hour.
00:26These are the message signs and they're two faced, so if we have a contraflow we have the signs on the opposite side.
00:34So when we have the southbound shut and we have a contraflow through the northbound,
00:39one of those will show us a pretty yellow, so we can have a traffic at five miles an hour.
00:56And then it will go through to the control room, and then go chat, and then obviously fire extinguisher,
01:08and a call point, CCTV rush spot on.
01:12Hello, would you be able to give me a call back please?
01:24Thank you, bye.
01:26Hello, thank you so much. Cheers.
