Crossrail's train tunnels are three-quarters complete following the breakthrough of Victoria, one of the project's huge boring machines, into Whitechapel station.
The 150-metre-long machine is named after Queen Victoria and began her journey at Limmo Peninsula in east London at the end of 2012. She broke into the huge underground space at Whitechapel where work is taking place 35 metres below the surface to create over a kilometre of new platform and passenger tunnels for the new Crossrail station.
During the second half of 2014, whilst tunnelling will continue, the project's focus will begin to shift to the substantial job of fitting out the stations and tunnels.
