The 2,000 tonne Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) will be launched later this year, creating a one-mile twin bore tunnel under Long Itchington Wood. A competition to find a name for the moving mega-factory was launched in March and has already received over 120 suggestions. Exclusively aimed at Warwickshire residents, HS2 and BBV are calling on the local community to submit their final name ideas, with the competition portal closing on Friday 30 April 2021. New videoand photos highlight construction progress at the Long Itchington Wood Tunnel site where the TBM will be assembled to start tunnelling this summer:https://visual.library.hs2.org.uk/p/share/4M3I_4C8JrEw People can submit names on the online competition portal here: https://www.hs2.org.uk/long-itchington-tunnel/
