In that time, we have been very busy and played host to some really interesting tests at the tunnel, however there are still plenty of people yet to see the facility in the flesh, so we are looking forward to showing them around.” – Jon Paton, Group Leader.
“We’re elevating the event this time around.” Adds Sales and Marketing Coordinator Charlie Smith. “We have some industry leading service providers exhibiting with us and there will also be live vehicle demonstrations. Uptake has been really positive and we can’t wait to welcome people on the 4th October.”
Originally completed in 1897 Catesby Tunnel was in use as a railway tunnel until 1966. In 2013 work began to transform the disused tunnel into the state-of-the-art facility it is now. The tunnel is a totally unique vehicle testing facility, boasting 2.7km of incredibly smooth Tarmac and repeatable environmental conditions all year round.
