Plans to transform central London with a 22-mile-long underground
ring road can be revealed today.


I wonder how may tube lines it'll cross, and whether over or under.

(Subsurface lines presumably "under")


There are a few bits where I don't quite understand where they will fit it
all in. For example Highbury Corner already has a couple of underground
railways so I assume the new road tunnel would need to be very deep to
go under them which then means very long portal tunnels.
