In 1957, an engineering company started studying the possibility to join Britain
and France through a tunnel under the sea. It would have two trains for
passengers as well as a small service train. In 1973 the ideas went into action
and the hard work began. A short time later, they were stopped because therewasn’t enough money to complete the project. In 1984, several companies
showed their ideas to re-start the project: two variations of railway, a road,
and a big bridge over the English Channel. The chosen project was the railway
solution that was very similar to the one presented back in 1973. This time with
help from both the British and French, a private company began the
construction. On January 20th, 1986, the company TransMancheLink (TML)
said that a long tunnel would be constructed. They chose a route from
Folkestone in England to Calais in France. This wasn’t the shortest possible way
and the company needed to work harder than 13 years before. It took seven
years to complete the Eurotunnel and about 13,000 people worked on it. The
two ends of the smallest platform met on December 1st, 1990, and lots of
journalists and photographers went to the opening ceremony. Later, in 1991
the two long trains met. The hard work continued and three years later the
project was completed.d
