Ok - serious answer IIRC they connect the 2 levels - the " bottom floor " was ` ground level - and that had dirrect tunnel access with rail lines to the outside

the " upper deck " was accessed via the lift + stairs - AFAIK there was only emergency personel escape hatches up from the top deck - all bombs / freight would have to be lowered to the bottom deck and trucked out the tunnels
Thats about right. Although we didn't see any escape hatches, they would have been absolutely useless with 40 feet of slate over your head. thats a long climb with 18,000 tons of bombs going off.

As for vehicular access, it's all about the trains every thing came in and went out on trains. if you look at the plans on subbrit I linked in my initial post it shows the tunnel access.

P.s. If you want to know the easy way to find it, without getting lost, PM me.
