How to construct a network of rail routes in the UK?
Crossrail — a major European project to build a new network of commuter rail traffic in the UK, which will start in 2018. The price of the project is enormous — $ 25 billion.
During the construction of underground tunnels builders faced with not just a finished maze of modern infrastructure, but with unexpected antiquities: mammoth bones they find, fragments of Roman roads, jewelry of the past.

The scale of construction Crossrail transport system is really impressive. The project has already entered the 10 most expensive transport structures in the world. Length of lines is 118 km Crossrail Throughput calculated for 24 trains of ten cars per hour in each direction, the maximum speed on land plot of up to 160 km/h in the tunnel to 100 km/h Under the city centre, the railway will be underground.
This tunneling shield used in the construction of tunnels.
Londoners think that it is the largest and most expensive project to build a transportation system — 118 km above ground and underground roads, stations, infrastructure the total amount of 25 billion dollars. Surely, they just have not heard about the price of the project of the Fourth ring road in Moscow, the longest of which is 74 km away more than 1 trillion roubles in 2011. However, the governors approved that the budget of Moscow will not pull and the project was stopped.
