BUT I have also read (Railway Mag. Feb 2012?) that the Connaught
Tunnel is too run down to be reused for Crossrail and that a new
tunnel will have to be bored.


If a large number of apparently empty lorries are seen about the place,
they will be taking away the old hole and delivering the new one.
