london crossrail

It's Europe's biggest infrastructure project, with 130 million working hours spent on it so far. As an engineering feat, it rivals the Channel Tunnel, which connects the UK to France. And it has the power to transform travel across one of Europe's busiest and most crowded cities.

Crossrail -- or the Elizabeth Line, its official name -- promises to transform London with 100 kilometers of underground railway track cutting across the UK capital from west to east.

That is..... when it completes. and there are problems... Delays, delays and delays
