Description
Farringdon station is now one of London's major rail interchange stations, providing connections between three networks. During the construction of the Crossrail project, it also received four earth pressure balanced tunnel boring machines (TBMs): the two Drive X TBMs, running from Royal Oak to Farringdon and the two Drive Y TBMs, running from Limmo to Farringdon. The complete station layout will comprise two ticket halls, two platform tunnels, connecting cross passages, escape and ventilation adits, two escalator - inclines and two concourse tunnels constructed using mainly SCL tunnelling.
