At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to a rather forlorn-looking carriage positioned at the entrance of No. 2 Tunnel. It is here that the true extent of destruction becomes apparent. A bomb had struck the tunnel mouth with such force that it ricocheted into the unfortunate carriage, obliterating it completely.

Astonishingly, almost an entire side of the coach has fallen away, exposing its vulnerability in these extreme circumstances. This photograph serves as a stark reminder not only of wartime devastation but also highlights how civilian vehicles were no match for such destructive forces unleashed by aerial bombings.
