As far as im aware current plans for Crossrail dont involve breaching

This is exactly how I understand it now - not to be breached in the

the tunnel for construction access but that has been dropped.


Not surprising really. You'd have enough trouble just getting men with
shovels down those tiny tunnels never mind any construction machinery.
