Video: Inside Farringdon Crossrail

Tunnelling for the mighty Crossrail project is complete. The last boring machine came to rest in June 2015, completing 26 miles of deep-level tunnel. Now the focus turns to fitting out the tunnels, laying tracks and preparing stations. The new east-west rail route is on course to open in December 2018.

Following the tunnel completion, we visited the Farringdon dig to take one last look at tunnel boring machine Elizabeth, before the kit is dismantled and removed. Watch the video above, and browse the images below for more information.
