The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway: Tunnels Under the Thames

Series 1, episode 2

The documentary series follows engineers building London's brand new underground railway, Crossrail, as they take on a great British obsession - building train tunnels under water. Linda Miller, an engineer more at home building space launch complexes at Cape Canaveral, battles to rebuild a Victorian tunnel under the Royal Docks in London's East End. Meanwhile a British tunnelling dynasty - the Bermingham family - follow in the footsteps of the original father-son team of Marc and Isambard Kingdom Brunel to build a brand new tunnel under the River Thames
