Tunnelling at Bank? Whats this for? I thought all the crosstail tunnelling
was complete long ago.


Nothing to do with Crossrail.

Interesting, didn't know about that. I haven't used Bank for a while but it
was always overcrowded in the rush hour on the northern line platforms. Can't
see how they can improve that short of tunnelling a new diversion tube tunnel
like they did at Angel.


That's what they are doing, a new Northern line southbound tunnel.

is probably a better page.

There are also new escalators, moving walkways, lifts and an additional
surface entrance.
