Chronicling the events as they happened, this is a history of the making of the Channel Tunnel.

The book also includes information on the Shuttle - how it works and how to board it - the building of the Folkestone and Calais terminals whilst preserving the environment, and the Tunnel's role in the overall European transport system of the future.
