Eight boring machines have been cutting their way through earth to

That's the new tunnels, plus the exciting machines which re-did the
kilometre of Connaught tunnel.
And isn't it a shame that these boring machines and their expert
workforce cannot now move directly to start CROSSRAIL2?
Yes, but HS2 may need the workforce in between. The HS2 tunnels will
be bigger, so not the same TBMs.
