Jubilee Line Extension construction - 1995 BBC documentary.
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 10:40 pm
I came across a half hour documentary from 1995 on the BBC's iPlayer about the construction of the Jubilee Line Extension featuring the work of the Balfour Beatty/Amec and Sir Robert McAlpine/Bachy joint ventures.
Plenty of footage of the construction works and now classic equipment at work, as well as an explanation of the challenges faced and works being undertaken.

It is available for more than a year.
It may not be available to viewers outside the UK.
A few stills to whet the appetite:
