I'm amazed it isn't battery or fuel cell or something. The Crossrail
tunnels are not designed to allow fumes to vent!


I would hope there's actually quite a number of ventilation shafts and fans in
the tunnels or its going to get bloody hot in summer!


Yes, there are. Ensuring adequate ventilation was a big part of the design.
