Connaught Tunnel for Crossrail or not?
Crossrail searches disused east London tunnel for WWII bombs
The Connaught Tunnel was built in 1878 and runs under the Royal Docks A disused tunnel under the Royal Docks in east London is being searched by Crossrail for unexploded World War II bombs and devices. The 550-metre Connaught Tunnel, which was built in 1878, is part of the planned Crossrail route. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16849396 BUT I have also read (Railway Mag. Feb 2012?) that the Connaught Tunnel is too run down to be reused for Crossrail and that a new tunnel will have to be bored. Does anyone know? |
