You'd have enough trouble just getting men with shovels down those

The running tunnel is 9 ft diameter : the running tunnel between
stations are all double track.

FSVO "all". Look at the pictures. There are clearly some single track
tunnels which are smaller.

9 ft is a good deal larger that many site construction tunnel or even
final tunnels e.g. sewer or water tunnels that have construction
railways in them.

Where the tunnels are 9ft that would be true.
