Some residents who live above the proposed line of the Crossrail

or works directly above an existing tube (not sub-surface) tunnel?
If so, do you experience any noise and vibration?

I don't live above a tube tunnel. However the Crossrail tunnels are
likely to be far deeper than tube tunnels.

Actually the Crossrail tunnel from the Great Western main line to
Chiswick will be 17 - 18 metres below the surface, which I think is
about average for tube tunnels in London.

Even in Central London, the Crossrail tunnels will run *above* the
Jubilee, Northern, Central, and Piccadilly lines in the Oxford
Stret/Holborn area. There is a vertical section through the central
part of the route at

any one spot a possible error in the typical station design?
