It was moving and funny but also inspirational. Lucky to have known him

The absolute insanity of this. Cutting and concrete tunnels to go through open, level countryside. It’s like a challenge to find the most outrageously expensive way of possibly building a railway.

The last of over 5,000 reinforced concrete segments has been lifted into position for the Chipping Warden 'green tunnel' - marking a major milestone for one of the longest 'cut and cover' tunnels on the project 👇🎥. Set to stretch for one-and-a-half miles, the tunnel is being built inside a cutting, with the earth put back on top afterwards, helping to blend the high-speed railway into the landscape and cut noise and disturbance for people living nearby.
