Introduction of the UK’s first trains with no staff on board faces an 18-month hold- up because of the Glasgow Subway’s Victorian tunnels.
Palmieri Tunnel Widening Machines operation. Widening of the Montedomini Tunnel with the highway still open to traffic. Italy.

Tunnel Enlargement Gantry TEP 8400 from the German company GTA
https://gta.eu/en/tunneling/tunnel-enlargement-gantry-tep-8400
It's got 2 models. 8400A for drill & blast and 8400B for rockbreaker.
GTA develops and manufactures stable, robust and thus durable equipment for the tunneling and mining industries offering a high degree of operational reliability
and ease of use.
