Building The Elizabeth Line follows one of the most ambitious transport projects in British history from the first dig to the first passenger. The series charts the years of planning, design and construction that went into creating London’s newest railway line, linking east and west beneath the capital.
Through interviews with engineers, planners and workers on the ground, the programme reveals the scale of the challenge faced by those tasked with reshaping the city’s underground world. From precision tunnelling and complex logistics to safety trials and station design, every stage of the project is explored in detail.
Filmed over the course of construction, Building The Elizabeth Line shows how a vision on paper became a vital part of London’s transport network, and what it takes to bring a major piece of public infrastructure to life in the modern age.
