Tunnels arn't dug with

tunnel itself or theres a small tunnel already there , it will take
more or
less the same time. The only difference will be in the amount of spoil
needing to be carried away.

Which reminds me that there were several proposals to use the Post
Office Railway to remove spoil from the central area. I haven't heard
anything more of the suggestion, though.

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the spoil by the Crossrail tunnels they
had just dug?
