A coworker sent this link around today. It's long but there's a nice video at the end showing the tunnel drilling equipment in action.

London has traditionally had multiple stub terminals for the different railway lines that radiate from London, dating from pre-nationalization days when there were many different railway companies. Currently, Thameslink is the only cross-town through service handling mainline passenger trains, running north and south. Crossrail will finally provide a through east-west connection for mainline passenger trains.

Heathrow? Is that not an AIRPORT? But great to have air/rail connectivity.
