Permanent Crossrail track installed between Royal Oak Portal and Paddington
To support permanent track installation in the west, a concrete shuttle is used to transport concrete from a temporary railhead at Westbourne Park.

Pre-mixed fibre reinforced concrete from the batching plant is loaded onto the shuttle, delivered into the tunnels and pumped into place.
A fleet of customised machinery is supporting the fit-out of the tunnels.
