Chronicling the events as they happened, this is a history of the making of the Channel Tunnel. It contains information about Eurotunnel’s 21st-century transport system, describes how the Tunnel was dug and how it operates, and talks to the men who have brought about this great feat of engineering. The book also includes information on the Shuttle – how it works and how to board it – the building of the Folkestone and Calais terminals whilst preserving the environment, and the Tunnel’s role in the overall European transport system of the future.
