A. Then in the late 1860s, Thomas de Gamond of France and Sir John Hawkshaw of Britain, two very successful engineers, produced quite practical plans for a railway tunnel that would finally end Britaintasks long isolation as an island. Companies were quickly formed in both Britain and France, but actual digging did not begin until the early 1880s. A pilot tunnel nearly two kilometres long was dug from Folkestone under the Channel, but further works on the site were stopped when risks of another European war became real.
B. The idea of a tunnel under the Channel directly linking England and France is not a new one. About 200 years ago a French engineer told Napoleon that it would most definitely be possible to build a long tunnel under the Channel because the sea bed, like the cliffs on both sides of the Channel, consisted of solid chalk. Napoleon was more interested in fighting the British than in linking the two countries.
C. Enormous terminals were constructed in London and Paris, and highspeed trains were produced. Britain would no longer be cut off from its European neighbours by the Channel.
D. However, in the 1980s Britain and France reopened talks and agreed to form a consortium to complete the project using privately funded capital. Thousands of workers using high-technology machinery worked around the clock in sometimes dangerous conditions, until French and British engineers were finally able to shake hands with each other for the first time, deep under the waters of the Channel.
E. It was not until after the last war that Britain and France once more began seriously considering the abandoned project. In 1960 the Channel Study Project Group published a proposal for a rail tunnel from Folkestone to Calais, and four years later the governments of the two countries agreed to proceed with the project at last. Digging began again, but the tunnel made slow progress. The British government closed the project in 1975.
