Name

[edit]

I have never heard the railway tunnel called anything other than "Southampton Tunnel", which is its official name according to all the documentation (primary and secondary) I have seen. I note the route map gives the correct name. Adding Civic Centre to the name would make me think it had something to do with the local authority's headquarters, which, apart from just touching one corner of the site and passing under no buildings, it hasn't. Furthermore, it was in existence about a century before the civic centre and there was also a canal tunnel on almost identical course half a century before that. I would recommend a change of article name to plain "Southampton Tunnel". Jamjarface (talk) 22:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
