As far as im aware current plans for Crossrail dont involve breaching
it - there was talk of using it for spoil removal but it was too

This is exactly how I understand it now - not to be breached in the
destructuve sense, but there had been planned some intrusion to use
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.

Dwarfs are meant to be good at tunnelling.
