00:05place of engineering pioneers Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his father, Sir Mark.
00:10The plaque marks the spot where the New Euston Tunnel passes beneath Kensal Green Cemetery
00:16in West London.
00:17HS2 chief executive Mark Wild says the Brunel's work helped shape modern tunneling and railways.
