You might have watched documentaries on television about the Eurostar Chunnel Train. The Train goes through a tunnel under the English Channel that connects Britain and France. It's a 31 mile trip, and 23 miles are actually underwater. The trip is about twenty minutes. This amazing technology allows you to zip back and forth between London and Paris in about the time it might take to get across Manhattan in the morning.
The project was a fifteen billion dollar undertaking, and the largest infrastructure ever created in Europe. The amount of rubble dug out to create the tunnels actually increased the size of Britain by ninety acres, which is about 68 football fields. The Eurostar train is the newest and fastest in Europe. If you can manage it, and it aids your travel, you should definitely check it out.
Eurostar Chunnel Train Transfers to All of Europe
The Eurostar Chunnel Train features three major European cities, London, Paris and Brussels. From there, you can of course transfer to other trains, as Europe offers great public transportation and railway systems. If you're traveling Europe, most likely you're purchasing a Eurail Pass that will enable you travel all around Europe as much as you like within a set amount of time.
The Eurostar Chunnel train will also take you directly to the heart of Disneyland Paris. If you're in Britain, and you want to take a day trip to Disneyland, you can hop on the Eurostar Chunnel train and in a little more than a couple of hours, you'll be greeted by Disney characters. Spend the day at Disneyland, and nap on the train trip back to London. Trains also leave from Waterloo and Ashford in England.
