Over the past couple of years I've seen blue hoardings adorned with the
Crossrail logo in Canning Town (on Victoria Dock Road somewhere between
Royal Victoria and Custom House DLR stations), in the back streets of
Limehouse (near Westferry DLR), in the car park of Whitechapel
Sainsbury's (just off Whitechapel Road and Cambridge Heath Road), and on
Sutton Row (between Tottenham Court Road and Soho Square).

They all seemed to be test digs of some sort - I did see some holes,
albeit small ones.

Well of course they're small! The train larvae are only a foot, foot and a
half wide at this point. You only need to bore little holes to get them
down into the ground, then they dig out bigger and bigger tunnels of their
own as they grow. Come 2016, when they're reached maturity, they'll have
bored full-size W6A tunnels.
