Channel Tunnel

[colinclarke1000]

@afoot85 50km is closer to 30 miles mate..

[YesYesYouAreRight]

Stupid question.

[rzekekbrt]

nice and easy in a bova was it 15 metre ?

[1982FMJ]

they don't search every vehicle that enters the euro tunnel. there is no way i am going on this thing untill they thouroughly search each vehicle. thanks but no thanks

[rzekekbrt]

@1982FMJ er they do just not humans as u go past ur ticket booth head towards checkin and head towards douanne booth on under road is a long strip to video survalince ur vehicle so all is safe

[Yashminator]

SUP DAWG, WE HEARD YOU LIKE BUSES, SO WE PUT A BUS IN YOUR TRAIN SO YOU CAN RIDE WHILE YOU RIDE.

[medicpack6]

what the fuck you retard

1 the train is faster and safer

2there would probabily be crsh every weak by some dick head driver

[TeddyBearWithSexHair]

You can't go through the tunnel cause then you might get hit by the train!

[Camerameister]

Longest road tunnel is Laerdal in Norway @ 24,500 metres. St Gotthard is only 17,000. The Chunnel is 50,450. So what do ya do when there's a breakdown?

[beansterman1998]

yes, they will need some underground motorway services

[Camerameister]

Why?

1. Train is faster, safer and more reliable;

2. Cars, trucks and buses would create to much toxic gas which would be difficult to get rid of;

3. Accidents would be far more frequent and there would be no easy means of eascape, especially in the event of a fire;

4. The tunnel would have to be much wider to accommodate at least two lanes + emergency lane so much more expensive;

5. Driver mesmerism becomes a factor.

Rail was the only realistic solution.

[czechguy78]

also the highspeed train Eurostar uses the tunnel thus more tubes would be necessary.

[Camerameister]

That's why it is train only.

[DigitalAnalogueBR]

Add to that there would have to be a cross over mid way to change the vehicles from the left hand side to right and visa versa. Rail is better as British and Frecnh Railways both run on the left. Well french majoritibly on the left as the area around Strasbourg runs on the right becasue it used to belong to the Germans, who put running on the right.

[gimpster02]

well its cos you cant drive the bus on rail tracks, an the train does 100mph so it would crash into you as well .

[kdmq]

if you drove though the tunnel, the Bus would put out toxic gases that would fill up the tunnel, to prevent it, you need alot of ventillation, which is very expensive, so a train is better

[MisterEggy]

Yeah, the trains run on electricity.

[justinaurelius]

Sometimes my ass puts out toxic gasses. I usually leave when that happens.

[quwers]

Because we don't cater for the needs of arrogant kangaroos who like piss beer and sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt­t.

[nicksmoker]

how long is this fuckin tunnel? anyways.. if they can make a 20 km tunnel under a mountain in switzerland they can make a tunnel under the sea..

they should have made it bigger and drive through.. fuck the train!

[Padfoot85]

50km or roughly 35 miles. The gas alone wouldn't make it worth it. Plus your driving in a tunnel for 35 miles. Then there's accidents, running out of gas, other roadside assistance, plus all that exhaust would be ridiculous. 20km isn't that bad but 50 would be too long to realistically expect smooth operation

[canthaguild]

i see your point but trains are cleaner in the tunnel and of course they also make more money coz they cant have a 45pound toll both at the entrance

[anthypolysz]

the train is faster and safer

[smartguy2020]

U Cant Drive Through cause there's no way the exhaust from the bus could exit the tunnel and let fresh air in, so you would probably die on your way over causing a huge traffic jam.

[traindude92]

lol

[luminescentfeeling]

Accident, Break Down & Fire Risk - that's why.

[CodeMonster1]

yea an there would be a huge traffic jam , cos most peeps are useless drivers , especially women lol

[desmond225]

true

[Aetesaki]

You can't drive through the tunnel cause, the exhaust from the bus's diesel engine would kill you

[emachines34]

i wish that happens to you. actually i dont.
