    It was such a needed line if we’re honest. If they were smart, they’d close the central line for six months to widen the tunnels in order to accommodate better trains. It would make a huge difference.

        China bangs out these kinds projects so quickly. Am I expecting too much?

          Yes. For one thing London land prices are insane and has all sorts of ancient property laws about tunnels. China basically owns all the land as a state run economy, with the added bonus of being very capitalist so they just build whatever they like as long as they can bribe the local council
