International Interlopers
19 March 2007 - thanks to Pete Winch for this article
Several international machines have been working on the construction of the CTRL over recent months. As some of the route lurks underground, the machines used haven't been seen much.
Here's a rare glimpse of two of them at Dollands Moor.

Actually saw this R24 regulator being built in Switzerland in 2003, its a beast of a thing with 2 profile brushes 2 sets of ploughs and huge lateral profile plughs. This reggie would be any Section Managers dream as it would work all of his patch and perform a very good job in no time.
