LONDON TRANSPORT'S FLEET LINE PROJECT

The author describes the works involved in the first stage of London Transport's $80 million Fleet Line project of which the civil engineering construction is now substantially complete. In addition to the difficulties of fitting in with and connecting to London's existing underground railway lines, the author describes how above-ground structures, such as the Queen Eleanor Memorial at Charing Cross, were supported while the work was under way.(a) /TRRL/
