HS2 tunnelling machine’s Birmingham breakthrough

A tunnel-boring machine (TBM) that dug HS2’s tunnels has broken through in Birmingham.

Named Elizabeth, the machine was launched in Warwickshire 19 months ago and arrived in Washwood Heath on Monday.

It means the 28 miles excavation of tunnels between London and Birmingham are now complete, a milestone described as a “significant achievement” by the HS2 team.

“I’m immensely proud of the men and women who have worked round the clock to bring our TBMs and their crews home safely, and I look forward to seeing more progress inside the tunnels in the years ahead,” HS2’s Alan Morris said.
