The East London Line extension is one of the most intensive railway reconstruction projects undertaken in the UK. An existing operational railway with Victorian infrastructure has been taken out of service so that it can be extended and upgraded to provide a high quality metro style passenger service across London in readiness for the 2012 Olympics. The project comprises three distinct elements: skirting the east side of the city’s financial district. There is a new build 0,85km elevated section that forms the link between a disused railway viaduct built in the 1860s that provides a route northwards from the City, and a subsurface branch of the London Underground built in the 1870s that extends beneath the River Thames into south east London through Marc Brunel’s historic tunnel (completed in 1843).
