In 1863, Ramsgate Harbour station opened, and over time was a heavily used station. Only problem was that the town was served by two rival companies, and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway had their main station here. Access to the station was via a tunnel nearly a mile long and a downward gradient of 1:75, in addition to the steepness of the line and danger of runaway trains, space at the bottom was very limited, with only space for a small turntable, so only small tank locomotives could be used.
Under rationalisation on Thanet in 1926, this and the Margate Beach branch was closed, and the main line linking the two networks completed, Ramsgate Town station being moved to facilitate this.
An electric narrow gauge railway was constructed before the war, and run until 1965 when another accident resulted in closure.
Since 1965, the tunnel had been sealed, but urban explorers did break in and left graffiti everywhere.
Prior to the Second World War, a series of tunnels were constructed for use as air raid shelters, and it is these which the tours now operating are taken along.
The main railway tunnel still has soot on the roof over where the up line would have been, and in places you can see where the sleepers for the narrow gauge railway was lifted.
The shelter tunnels run for over a mile, and had many different entrances, though all are now blocked up, and some of the tunnels have collapsed.
The tunnels dug were in a U shape and had room for thousands to shelter in bunks each night, and although when opened were seen as a waste of money, were very much needed at the end of 1940 as the Blitz began to bite.
People even lived down in the tunnels if their house was bombed, pre=fabricated wooden frames were used, draped with curtains or other fabric.

The Herne Bay & Faversham Railway company was founded in 1857. In 1859 it became the Margate & London Railway, and two years later took the name Kent Coast Railway, by which it was known for the rest of its independent existence. It built a line from Faversham to Whitstable Town in 1860, extended it to Herne Bay & Hampton-on-Sea in 1861 and opened the section from there to a station called Ramsgate on 5 October 1863.[2] This was much closer to the seafront at Ramsgate than its predecessor, Ramsgate Town, which was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1846.[3]
In 1871, the Kent Coast Railway was bought by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway.[2] In June of that year, Ramsgate station took the name Ramsgate & St Lawrence-on-Sea, which it bore until 1 July 1899. For the rest of its existence it was known as Ramsgate Harbour.[4] The station was very popular and well-used, but was on a cramped site which was reached through a tunnel down a long 1-in-75 gradient. A train went out of control down this slope on 31 August 1891. One person was killed.[3][5] Plans were made to simplify the poorly connected railway network in the Thanet area; these were quickly adopted by the Southern Railway company, which took over the London, Chatham and Dover Railway's operations on 1 January 1923 as a result of the Grouping Act.[3] It built a new line, 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long, to connect the former Kent Coast Railway route from Faversham and the former South Eastern Railway route from Ashford,[2] which bypassed both Ramsgate Harbour and Ramsgate Town stations. Two new stations, Dumpton Park and Ramsgate, were built on this line to serve the town.[3] The line and the new stations opened on 2 July 1926, and the section of line between the new junction and Ramsgate Harbour station, and the station itself, closed on the same date.[2] The station site was bought by a company which converted it into a funfair. The station building was damaged by fire in 1998 and subsequently demolished. Part of the former route through the tunnel was opened as a narrow gauge tourist railway in 1936 which became the Tunnel Railway[3]. Services were suspended during World War 2. It reopened but it closed in 1965 following an accident at the beach station and the owners decided to close the railway. The railway was then dismantled. In 1939 part of the abandoned railway tunnel became an air raid shelter.[6] A network of tunnels was constructed leading from the disused railway tunnel leading under the town with various access steps to the surface. After the war finished these tunnels were abandoned. Following the award of a Heritage Lottery Grant sections of the abandoned railway tunnel and wartime air raid tunnels have been restored and were officially reopened on 27 May 2014.
There is just something in this photo that makes it cool... or maybe it's just me?? I love how there is a gradient color from light to dark. The photo has this mysterious feeling like something is about to happen haha maybe I am just imagining too much :) Although i'm not really liking the white scratches on this photo :( I don't know what do you think?
Olha que amor esses kits para unhas gradiente. Eles vêm com 3 esmaltinhos, um de base, um brilhante para passar da metade pra cima, e um glitter para as pontas. Mas dá para usar eles separados.

My 2702 Hussain Sagar Express just before climbing a gradient before Chittapur on the Hyderabad-Wadi line. 23rd October 2009. By Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer.

Another try at uploading videos of my moving gradient test on my cell phone...
I created a simple clock that is made of moving, colorful gradients on a black background. The purpose of the test was to try to find a way to have gradients merge with each other without unsightly masks removing parts of other gradients. I found a relatively simple way to do that but don't know if it's energy efficient or not (eg, uses too much battery) - I'll need to run tests and gather information first.
This is the debug variation that shows radial lines from the center to each "hand" as well as the integer value of each gradient (converted to clock time). Each gradient's position is a percent of the time around the clock and is continuous, not discrete, which is why the position of the gradients may not match the numbers on each gradient.
Whilst looking for signal wire support brackets, I came across this. not sure what it is, but it could be part of a gradient marker, as the line dropped towards Bath. Can anyone clarify?
I felt like getting kinda fancy!
This weekend I pained my nails with OPI Kyoto Pearl (the frosty white base coat here). I felt like making it fancier at the end of the week so I did some gradient glitter tips at the laundromat. :)
The tips are OPI "Teenage Dream," and this was actually super easy! I built it up in 3 coats: first a glitter coat on the tips (like for a french manicure), then a second coat from about halfway down the nail all the way to the tips, then a third coat about 3/4 down the nail to the tips. I tried to make the 3rd coat pretty thin as I started it so it would look gradual. Topcoat on top of everything.
I like it! I'm SUPER INTO glitter nail polish now. Oooh, sparkles. Love. I probably should start cleaning up my nail beds and cuticle areas better after I put polish on.
Also, my problem with bubbling that I was having has mostly gone away. I've noticed that several things made the difference - thin coats are good, but VERY important is waiting for the coats to dry. Honestly, I pretty much need to wait like 10 or 15 minutes between coats which seems excessive, but whatever. The final thing I've noticed is that when I do my nails when it's warm, it's way more likely to bubble. Painting in the early morning or at night is the best.
