Crossrail Breakthrough 2015: From tunnelling to track

Crossrail tunnelling began in 2012 and ended at Farringdon in May with the break through of tunnelling machine Victoria. Eight 1,000 tonne tunnelling machines bored 26 miles or 42 km of new 6.2m diameter rail tunnels under London. Crossrail, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, won the Judges’ Supreme Award at the 2015 New Civil Engineer International Tunnelling and Underground Space Awards. This video showcases some of the impressive footage captured during the construction of the new rail tunnels under London. Crossrail will add 10 per cent capacity to central London’s rail network. It will serve 40 stations, connecting Reading and Heathrow in the west with Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. Services through central London will commence in December 2018. An estimated 200 million passengers will travel on Crossrail each year. For more information visit: http://www.crossrail.co.uk Video released in 2015
