The maps on Crossrail's planning brief show the Post Office railway
having two tunnels.

Doesn't some of the running line have two small tunnels while other parts
and the stations have larger single tunnels.

I'm not sure about the exact layout of the stations, but those bits
I'd assume would need to be rebuilt a bit anyway for non-conflicting
passenger ingress / egress.

Rebuilt *a bit*? There is no comparison between the scale and space
needed to cope with 10-car full-size passenger trains and what was
needed to handle a few mailbags. This idea of yours to take this toy
railway and its stations and enlarge it a bit to transform it into
Crossrail is just daft.
