Gigantyczny projekt kolejowy w Londynie

Crossrail is Europe's largest civil engineering construction project. A large and varied skills base is needed to build a project of the size and complexity of Crossrail and up to 14000 people will be needed by the project's supply chain at the peak of construction. Crossrail will run 118 km from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west, through new twin-bore 21 km tunnels under central London to Shenfi eld and Abbey Wood in the east. When Crossrail opens (2017-2018) it will increase London's rail-based transport network capacity by 10%, supporting regeneration across the capital, helping to secure London's position as a world leading financial centre, and cutting journey times across the city.
