It was on the Blisworth to Peterborough line, opened in 1845 by the London and Birmingham Railway. The line was originally double track, however in the present day only a single track runs through the full length of the tunnel. A siding is partially contained within the tunnel, entering at the eastern end. The tunnel is 616 yards long and has no ventilation shafts.[1][citation needed]
Just to the west of the tunnel the NVR has opened a new station, Yarwell Junction railway station, which opened to the public in 2007.
The hamlet of Sibson lies atop the hill through which the tunnel is bored.
