The Unseen London Marathon The streets of London will soon be host to thousands of runners and hundreds of thousand spectators for the annual London Marathon which attracts worldwide interest and raises millions of pounds for various charities. Unbeknownst to most of these people is another marathon that is taking place at the same time hundreds of meters beneath them. The Crossrail east-west rail link is 26 miles (42 km) in length, similar to that of a marathon and, like the road race, is being completed at a record breaking speed. Albeit nothing like the speed of the elite athletes. The new Crossrail route from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east includes a marathon-equivalent 26 mile (42km) section of tunnels. Following the aerial images of Crossrail construction sites released last month, new tunnelling images released today show how Europe’s biggest construction project is also making its mark beneath the capital. The new images show tunnelling work underway at Crossrail sites through the project.
