Crossrail: London's Biggest Construction Project... That You Can't See 

Yes, More channels Please!

14rs2 sad part is Simon just does what he is told to. He is just face and a voice.

@@roberthurley3941 He started this channel and solely owns it, solely owns business blaze, solely owns the Simon Whistler show, and is or was an equal partner in today I found out. Not really sure where you got your information lol

I'll start a Kickstarter for a youtube channel, we'll see how far it gets

@@roberthurley3941 strange narrative

or a Today I found out video on how Simon Whistler took over RU-vid

Blue Watson it’s just like Disney

@@jackcallahan1848 Yeah but Simon doesn't seem to be evil. I guess neither did Disney Simon might be part of the illuminati and that's how he's got so many channels!

Jack Callhoon beards for the beard god

Better than ANY Soul Media channel.

Fucking liberal piece of shit this simon fuck

or french new nuclear powerplant

Or the world trade center complex

Stuttgart 21

Are you guys making a list for Simon? 😂Megaprojects that were way over budget

I was going to mention the airport! It started as a great idea everyone couldn't wait for, and now everyone just takes it for granted that it's basically a mafia front and embezzlement scheme that will never be completed.

Tokyo comes to mind. What city’s subway system isn’t running above designed capacity?

Paris: "Hold my wine."

How do they compare to Delhi? In my experience Delhi's trains were a lot worse than London's.

Yeah, you win. XD XD

Larry Scott Yeah, but to be fair the trains in Tokyo are quite modern, fast, and somehow very clean.

Zee Germans couldn't take over by blowing everything up so now they've decided to just build everything

while BER is will always be there to provide all of us with a good laugh, it looks like your prediction turns out not to be true... all safety tests were successfully completed last week, so it appears to be true this time and the new airport (well actually it's just a new terminal on the same premises where the old East-German SXF used to be) will finally open on October, 31st this year

@@cedricfranzen8558 really just a terminal thats even worse, the infrastructure was there already wow

Cedric Franzen Easy money says it gets delayed. Again.

@@toker6664 well, the old SXF airport used to have two very close runways, so they could not be operated independently. As a result the northern of those two runways was closed and the new "airport"/terminal was constructed to the south of the former southern runway with a completely new runway to the south of that. So the old south SXF runway is now the new BER north runway. With the new setup the two runways can be used independently, which makes them able to handle a lot more traffic. But a part of the runway and taxiway structure, as well as navigation aids for aircraft were able to stay the way they were. Of course all the surroundings are completely new, such as the subway that connects to the city center or parking lots, drop off areas and so on. Basically the whole "landside" infrastructure is new, while a part of the "airside" infrastructure was reused

@@cedricfranzen8558 thank you very thorough answer, as in some house renovations its cheaper to demolish and rebuild, would it of been better to start from scratch? But the comedy of errors as a Brit we get told how efficient Germans are is funny

Those cables have always fascinated me. Great suggestion! 👍

patrick quinn ????? What does that have to do with the topic at hand here. People aren’t here to rag on onyone, but to learn.

The soil from tunnelling has been transported to the Thames estuary and is being used to create a nature habitat for water birds

should have used it to build an airport in Thames estuary

You just need to dig a hole 2 blocks deep, throw in whatever you don't want, then cover up the top.

Inside the workers' trousers - and is dropped discretely when they get out on the streets again...

They dug another tunnel to put all the dirt in.

It gets like this in Tokyo as well - there are Tokyo metro stations that are curved - bith vertically and horizontally! As thats the only way to fit the stations between all the other metro, local train, Shinkansen & highway tunnels.

I Know. It's indeed beautiful!!👍👍

Yeah, Russia doesn’t fuck around when it comes to their subway stations!

Sensible. I love seeing tourists in London but if they're on the tube at 08.30 without luggage (so they're not going to an airport/train station etc) then I do shake my head a wee bit. Just take an extra half hour in bed and have a lazy b'fast, please!

No one noticed your absence.

@@negativeindustrial i believe that is the point of their action

As a Londoner i'd say dont bother getting the tube in Zone 1 unless you are really stretched for time, most things are in easy walking distance and you'll see more of the city above ground anyway

When I moved I purposely chose to live in an area on the district line so I can commute on the least polluted and crowded tube line. It's a little slow, but I'd rather have a comfortable journey that takes a few minutes longer.

BOOOOOOORRIIIIIIIINNNNGGG would have been my choice

You gotta keep building

We have been building London for 2000 years. Hoping to get it finished real soon...

London and New York City are the only 2 cities that matter

Yesssss

LHC CERN, and FermiLab. And SLAC, or other. Gotta include what lead up to the LHC for comparison.

Das ist eine Güt idee.

@@larryscott3982 Took me a long time to learn that the tunnels were originally dug and used by the LEP collider (Large Electron-Positron collider) and merely reused for the LHC (though only the tunnels: little of the actual equipment is the same, some of the enormous magnets used in some of the current detectors are from past detectors). The use of old colliders as current booster accelerators interests me. They're doing something at (I think) Fermilab to improve luminosity (the 'flow rate' of the particles) that is mostly replacing an almost-antique small circular accelerator with current technology. So booster rings must be pretty important. The LHC itself will likely become one when a new collider is built at CERN - unless the premier world site moves elsewhere due to politics. But they're two reasons why it's useful to build on top of a fairly modern existing installation. I really hope to see the LHC (or Fermilab's largest ring - the Tevatron?) become merely a booster for a project another order of magnitude more powerful in a few decades. They are magnificent engineering. I guess Crossrail for minuture "hyperloop" trains, with several enormous MRI machines for stations, is pretty close to what they really are. Large is a popular name in big science projects now, like the imaginative Very Large Telescope, Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, LUVOIR, the Extremely Large Array, and the European Extremely Large Telescope (getting very serious with the Large-ity now. Ludicrously Large Telescope? We have a Very Long Baseline Array now too, when it is relatively small, a radio interferometer should be called the Unnecessarily Long Array. The Extremely Non-Compact Telescope and if built in England then we could have an Awfully Large Particle Collider use an existing Rather Big Accelerator as it's booster ring. Meanwhile America may as well build the Bigger-Than-Yours Space Telescope. I find it funny in a way because they'll *almost all* seem quite small (and possibly even be visitor centres for curiosity of how telescopes used to be) by the end of the century, at least I hope so! At least be toys for PhD students to use, not the cutting edge of feasibility that there are years-long queues for having your observations carried out on.

Well a pound of steak mince if £8 so your gonna be stuck eating bags of flour mate

@@djscottdog1 2 questions from a guy from the US, steak mince=ground beef? Is there some joke I'm missing to your comment or was a comment deleted in the interim?

@@skizzik121 yeah tho steak mince is a good cut of meat ground. I think i replyed to the wrong coment , thanks to the new comment section taking me out due to adds, i hate youtube. Some was saying they think that it shouldnt cost more than £1 for each pound of earth removed from tge tunnle

@@djscottdog1 gotcha, yeah we just call our ground beef made from "better" cuts; ground "that cut". Ground ribeye, ground chuck and so on. Well I wish you luck fighting with the comment monster

how the hell did that make it through editing?...

Now that's a channel a guy could get behind!! Heckin yes!

I OFFER YOU THIS Wow, Simon gets *more* toned-down than this? I didn’t realize his dial had that low a setting.... Guess I’ve been watching too much Business Blaze 😂

The circular line they’re building, line 15, as part of the Grand Paris Express is absolutely mouthwatering. It will link regional centers and desaturate the core of Paris. Amazing project.

There will of course be a hiatus on all this stuff as the banksters deliberately tip the world into another depression,followed by the obligatory war....followed by Israel invading Lebanon and forcing a massive refugee crisis pouring into Europe....

correct

Bombardier is so awesome even us Americans are proud that they are made in our hat!

@@skizzik121 They do a lot of cool things, but they're having a rough go of it. The government have given them quite large loans to stay afloat. They had to sell off their turboprop division a while back. www.cbc.ca/news/business/bombardier-cutting-5000-jobs-q-series-1.4896753

Love that name and the C jet

@@skizzik121 : Eh?

OMG, that would be my dream job! What was your career building up to this and what exactly was your position?

@@nicolasblume1046 The work's still going on, so there's still time to go chase your dream! I worked as an ergonomist on Crossrail, so I did a lot of work on making sure that the stations work in terms of how people flow through them both on the passenger side and behind the scenes (i.e. making sure the signs make sense and are in the right place, making sure that the station is accessible for those in wheelchairs/those with limited sight, etc). I also did a lot of work on the design of all the back room offices and signalling centres, working out how to ensure that people could still do their day to day work whilst adhering to the security precautions. These days (and before I worked in railways) I design tanks for the army.

Jimmy Yu is there documentation to tell us how they transported the stones?

Duall Inselman I believe anybody here would be comsidered an OG fan

But are you a legendary legend?

I'm a raid shadow OG legend

So you have been here for less than 2 months just like the rest of us! Awesome!!!

@Jack Myhre I have been subbed to top Tenz for about 5 years but somehow missed BB until about 6 months ago.... No clue how that happened

That would be a good idea but pretty done to death on RU-vid don't you think?

It doesn’t really smell.

SvenTviking as someone who isn’t from anywhere near London, the piss smell & ps4-exhaust smell that hits the stations with windgusts is considered stinking

I like that smell, brings back great memories

Haha😆

Try disproving the miasma theory whilst hovering over an ebola victim...

That's that giant plane or is that the Caspian sea monster?

@@skizzik121 Giant cargo plane.

@@jur4x ok that's what I was thinking, I did give it a quick look up...THAT THING IS GIGANTE!!!!

That’s what happens when you colonise most of the planet. Most of the ethnic minorities in London come from countries the UK used to own.
