Knowing you, Yorkie, it probably has a Portuguese connection.

Therefore, has it something to do with the disappearance of Madeline McCann?

If so, is it a ground floor apartment at 5A Rua Dr Agostinho da Silva, Praia da Luz?

Not surprised you got it immediately, Bri.  $walesflag$

And with all the 35 odd British police also now involved in the enquiry, after Metodo 3, 2 ex CID bods and now this lot there is still no further news of the girl.   I wonder if such expense will be spared for any other little girl who goes missing in the future?

Es ist der Nürburgring in Deutschland - 70Km südlich von Köln.

This former Railway tunnel is somewhere in North Wales. Which organisation uses it now?

I think it's the old Penrhryn Slate Railway, now used as a Cycle route.    $walesflag$

Fingers are much too fast and the keyboard just can't keep up the pace!

Plus I have forgotten most of my German.  But the Dutch bit is Korrekt!    D)

One aspect of your answer is correct.  ;)

No public access is allowed to this tunnel now...for very good reason!

Looks like Dinorwig to me, part of Electric Mountain power station.

Is it the Bomb Store at Llanberis?   Therefore no public access!    $walesflag$

Merddin's got it, I'm afraid, Yorkie! Its official name is the Dinorwig Cable Tunnel, originally part of Dinorwig Quarry but used now to carry the 400,000 volt cables that transfer the electricity generated by Dinorwig Pumped Storage Power Station to the National Grid.

Dinorwig Power Station, located adjacent to the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, North Wales, is Europe’s largest pumped storage hydroelectric power station. It is also one of the fastest, most dynamic power plants in the world, capable of delivering its full station output of 1800 MW in only 12 seconds.

The two foot gauge railway is a clue, connected to the Llanberis Lake Railway. The Penrhyn Quarry Line is currently being rebuilt starting at Coed y Parc, Bethesda, I'm not sure how far it will run, but the Welsh Highland Railway was successfully rebuilt!  D)
