There's lots of places need to be continuously pumped as well as

Every single tunnel under a river is pumped

I know that; it would be hard to make them work, otherwise.
Those are a small number of tunnels and the pumping equipment is
(supposedly) subject to a maintenance regime.
Drivel's proposal for *every* village to be tunnelled under would
create thousands of tunnels and the guarantee is that sooner of later
one of them will flood catastrophically and lives on the train will be
lost.
He's a ****wit who doesn't think things through.

To be fair, he never understood the meaning of "when in a hole, stop
digging". His village has lots of tunnels.
