BBC doc in mid 60s about how they did it ... 40 min doc which I found interesting ..... Take note of the manual labour needed .. would we be able to get these numbers today?

 
liked the guy drinking from the old tin fire bucket ..... never see them anymore , used to have sand in them in shops
 
That’s how the Chinese would build HS2 if Johnson let them get involved....

Some superb civil engineering expertise on display in that film, although safety standards have thankfully moved on.

That tunnelling machine was clever though.

Thanks for posting 👍
