Allow tunnel entry/exit to occur mid track section
Currently the tunnel tool only allows the tunnel length to correspond to a particular unit of track. For instance if you have a long straight approach to the tunnel and need it to start part way along without splitting the track into smaller units.
Available in maintenance update 6.4.25:
When editing tunnel sections the Option key now enables fine-tuning of the tunnel portal's position within a tunnel track.

Scheduled for upcoming maintenance update 6.4.25

The tunnel tool currently works in two modes
• Click to mark plain tracks as tunnel sections,
• Click to turn tunnel sections into plain tracks.It would be sensible to introduce a new mode that allows users to mark the extent of the tunnel section for tracks at the outer end by holding down the Option key.

Agreed - the tunnel section feature was designed with partial tunnel sections in mind and we're planning to enable this extended functionality in a future update!
