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. |
