Do you know if the existence of other relatively large, underground facilities, namely subway railways, is a factor?
Is it a common/reasonable practice to use a rail tunnel for (non-rail) power distribution? I can imagine it would the advantage of not having to dig for inspectin/maintenance but a disadvantage of needing to coordinate with rail operation instead.
