You’ve read about my visits to various Crossrail building sites, and now at last, its your turn.
Crossrail is holding a series of open days and will let people into their station building sites to have a look and see what the billions of pounds is buying us.
The tours will provide you with the opportunity to get a glimpse behind the hoardings and view the works from safe viewing areas. Not down into the tunnels, but still a good look at construction sites that are usually hidden from view.
The worksites will be opened up throughout January and February in a series of public tours, and the first details are now on their website, with others to be added later.
Bond Street — Sat 25th Jan or Sat 1st Feb
Farringdon — Tues 28th Jan or Thur 20th Feb
Woolwich station – Wed 12th Feb – Thur 13th Feb
Whitechapel – Sun 9th Feb – Sun 16th Feb
Too late, all the tickets have gone already!!
More venues are likely to be announced later. Worth keeping an eye on.
Has a TBM really reached Whitechapel? The Telegraph reported it, but that was it.
I’d love to go on a ride through the tunnels in a Land Rover like the Queen did in HS1. I’d pay for that!
