The Connaught Tunnel was built in 1878 and runs under the Royal Docks

A disused tunnel under the Royal Docks in east London is being
searched by Crossrail for unexploded World War II bombs and devices.


Given that it was used by the north london line up until a few years ago
I think they're 70 years too late doing that. Or maybe crossrail passengers
are considered more important than the scumbags who used to travel to
silvertown!
