Build Europe's largest subway tunnel in 6 minutes

After three years of continuous excavation and construction, the Crossrail tunnel in London's new subway system is finally completed. Although people have not been using the new train system for at least another three years, London's Transport for London website has recently sent a series of branded drones and cameras. Time-lapse application to bring us a new look at what's happening right under London.

The new project needs another 3 years to replace this old station.

London decided to build the Crossrail train route from 2009 but it was not until 2012 that the plans for these tunnels began to come into practice. The construction team uses 8 giant 7-meter tunneling machines , 150 meters long and weighs 1,000 tons, working continuously 24/7. When entering the peak of the 'big', 8 giant excavators with 8 beautiful names of girls Victoria, Elizabeth, Phylis, Ada, Jessica, Ellie, Sophia and Mary can exploit nearly 100m of the tunnel new every week.

A total of more than 40 km of new tunnels were excavated underground in the capital of England. Last week saw the project's last breakthrough, with Victoria's drill pierced through the clay forming huge gaps, which would turn into Farringdon train station in 2018.


Videos are recorded with Drones.
