When the two ends of the tunnel were joined underground there was found to be less than 5cm (2in) error in their alignment.
It is also sometimes claimed that there is a secret junction and spur tunnel within Box Tunnel, leading to a secret bunker, or possibly to a "strategic reserve" of mothballed steam locomotives to be used in the event of a major oil crisis or nuclear war.
In fact, the tunnelling at Box revealed the existence of large amounts of good quality Bath stone in the hillside, and Tunnel Quarry was opened in 1844 to take advantage of this, with its entrance alongside the eastern portal of Box Tunnel, and a branch line running into it.
