The channel tunnel spans under the English Channel from Cheriton, England to Folkestone, France. The tunnel is 32 miles long and is considered one of the greatest civil engineering projects of the 20th century. It has a capacity of 600 trains per day each way. There are three tunnels: two for trains and one for shuttles. If you were to shuttle from the beginning of the tunnel to the end of the tunnel it would take you 35 minutes. Each shuttle travels 80 miles per hour and can pull 120 shuttle cars. Each train travels at about 87 miles per hour in a 24.9-foot wide tunnel. This wonder of the modern world makes it easy to travel between England and France and will do so forever.
