    THE EUROTUNNEL
    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 there wasnt enough money to complete the project.
    In 1984, several companies showed their ideas to re-start the project:
    variations of railway, a road and a big bridge over the English Channel.
    chosen project was the railway solution that was very similar to the
    presented back in 1973. This time with help from both the British
    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 wasnt 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.
