It was said that enlarging the connaught tunnel for crossrail was "impossible"
but they managed it.
Only by a complete change of plan and draining the dock to
re-cut-and-cover, rather than widening from the inside.
Doesn't matter - they did it. Given how long the ELL was closed for to convert
it they had plenty of time and compared to the works that were required to
raise the line out of the tunnel at shorditch I suspect it would have been
a relatively minor addition to lengthen platforms.
