The Channel Tunnel is That's the equivalent of Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other. The idea of a tunnel under the Channel was first proposed in but construction wasn't started until It was completed in , and Eurostar services started in November Vehicle traffic for Le Shuttle gets on in Folkestone and gets off in Calais.
Folkestone is about an hour and a half's drive from London and Calais is about three hour's drive from Paris. Eurostar trains, which are passenger only, leave from St Pancras International station in London some services also take on passengers in Ebbsfleet and Ashford in Kent and go directly to the center of Paris and the other Eurostar destinations in Europe.
At its deepest, the tunnel is 75 meters feet below the sea level. That's the same as baguettes balancing on top of each other. The Channel Tunnel is made of three separate tunnels running parallel to each other. All three tunnels were drilled below the seabed and link Folkestone in Kent to Coquelles in Pas-de-Calais.
However, the idea of connecting the UK and France by tunnel is much older than people think — dating back to the early s when its supporters included Napoleon Bonaparte. Many of the workers used hand tools, but a state-of-the-art boring machine was also used. Work was eventually abandoned until construction on the tunnel as we now know it began again in While we prefer our journeys comfortable, relaxing and underground through the Euro Tunnel, a few dare devils have travelled in slightly different ways.
The Channel Tunnel or in the air, on the water or in a bathtub? You decide. He first attempted the crossing on 12 August , but had to give up due to strong winds and rough seas. Undeterred, he tried for a second time 12 days later. Escorted by three boats and covered in porpoise oil, he reached Calais in 21 hours 45 minutes, despite challenging tides and a jellyfish sting.
American swimmer Sarah Thomas raised the bar in September , setting a world record by becoming the first person to swim across the Channel four times non-stop. The tubes are used by Eurostar for transporting passengers only and by Le Shuttle for those bringing their vehicles. On the English side of the channel, the train departs from Folkestone in the county of Kent. It arrives into the city of Coquelles, near Calais, on the French side.
The tunnel is 31 miles long, with 23 of those miles beneath the surface of the water, traveling at an average depth of feet below the seabed. The Eurostar passenger train is not only the quickest journey across the Chunnel, but it also has faster access and loading times. The actual traveling time in the tunnel itself is just 20 minutes. It is recommended to arrive an hour ahead of time to be sure you get a seat and to get through the boarding process.
Minimum check-in times are 20 minutes for Business Premier ticket-holders and 45 minutes for general ticket-holders or travelers boarding ski trains. This gives you time for passport, visa and customs checks.
