Been using it for a few years now, but haven’t caught the lift staff days. Shame, as I’ve read in the tunnel thread (or dreamt ?) that they would call out bad behavior.
I first used the tunnel about 23 years ago. IIRC, they had limited CCTV coverage of the tunnel and I've heard the same thing anecdotally. I never witnessed a bollocking, though. Miscreants could avoid them by using the stairs. I can't remember when they disappeared; upgrading the lifts took ages, and at least the northern lift was out of action for years before that. I think they haven't been there for at least ten years, probably more.

Today was one of the worst examples really. Seen all kinds of things, even pedestrians pretend-attack someone cycling, didn’t get physical though.
Witnessed the LED displays being installed, displaying No Cycling Allowed for a few months, then they went off a year or maybe more ago and nothing since then. Smells of corruption if I may get political at this point.
I walk through the tunnel and carry the bike up and down the stairs. So this is funny: he overtook me just before Seyssel St junction, we both went straight. That’s 700m to the tunnel. I was riding slow, I used the stairs. Then in the tunnel we met around half way before the flat bit. If that’s not an argument for slower commute then I don’t know what is.
