The tunnels have TWICE the cross section area of existing tube tunnels,
to allow a walkway!
Interesting. Of course, the DLR bored tunnels are similar. I wonder if the
Crossrail tunnels are also wide enough for a walkway, alongside the
mainline-size trains?
The larger tunnel will also reduce wind resistance and tunnel heating.
It looks like the public can get into a raised viewing platform over the
Battersea Power Station Station.
It would be nice if it's open to the public, but I suspect it isn't.
The sign says "Pedestrian and visitor entrance."
The viewing platform has one of those information boards that you get at
National Trust viewpoints. I doubt it would have that if you could only
get there on booked shepherded tours like the one Geoff had.
