London is currently building the largest infrastructure project Europe has ever seen, and its not going exactly as planned. After being first proposed in 1989, Crossrail had planned to ease traffic congestion surrounding London, and build a series of underground tunnels under the city. While the plan seemed great from the drawing board, it would take the government another 10 years just to come up with a feasible plan to get the project off the ground. But after years of construction and missing the targeted 2018 completion date, Crossrail is Over Budget, and Behind Schedule.

As of writing this video, only a very small portion of the rail line is functioning as the rest of the project has a goal of being completed by fall of 2023. Along with the new rail line, Cross London Rail Links has designed an all new start of the art Train called Class 345. While Crossrail may seem like an engineering failure, it will be a staple in London's history as one of the largest projects in the city's history.

London is the Capital of England and the United Kingdom. Home to nearly 10 Million Residents, London is known as one of the most densely populate Cities in Europe.
