The Channel Tunnel

Written by

For 30 years, the Channel Tunnel has connected the UK and France with a 30-mile-long underwater tunnel.

Tunnel Boring Machines were used to drill out the three tunnels from each side, meeting in the middle.

Operating trains across the Chunnel requires clever cross-tunnel connections that let air flow from one to another to avoid a pressure build-up from passing trains.
