    I was visiting relatives in England (from Canada). I was staying with my Aunt near Canterbury. My next stop was London. I caught the bus at the Canterbury bus station. I'm a senior, and it cost me only 6 pounds for the trip to Victoria Station. I was amazed. And it was rush hour on a Friday night, but the bus went in the bus lane most of the trip, so it didn't take too long. I took a front street, and the windscreen was huge, so I got quite a view of London neighbourhoods as we traveled through. I was so impressed.

      ​@@MaMu-fv8uo, I'm sort of senior too, and when I visited Berlin, the city was still divided by the Wall and isolated in the middle of menacing (as it felt at the time) Communist East Germany, a.k.a. the "German Democratic Republic" or GDR. After an adventurous train ride through the GDR from Frankfurt on a sealed train with heavily armed SOLDIERS (not mere "guards") on every wagon, our group arrived at Zoo Station (infamous for the Christiane F. book and film, and famous for the U2 song) in West Berlin and we were greeted by the local representative of the youth exchange organization that arranged our trip. She was the wife of a very rich industrialist and didn't need to work, but she did that to feel useful and have fun. They were wealthy enough to have as many Porsches and BMWs as they wanted, but they had NO car, by choice. Not a single one. Both used exclusively public transportation, because it was so good, comprehensive and reliable in Berlin, and they preferred not to have to worry about parking, maintenance, etc. The fact that they were basically stuck in a walled city from where they couldn't drive to another place (actually, it was possible, but it involved a lot of hassle and red tape) also helped in their decision, but anyway, this shows how good public transportation usually is in Europe and how a car is much less necessary there than in many other parts of the world.

    We did this trip in July 2019. At the Chunnel we were given thirty minutes. One Indian family were 15 minutes late and we missed our slot on the train. This delayed us by two hours to Paris and the driver and most of the passengers never missed a chance to give them a hard time. They got off in Lyon and several people jeered. Still a great trip though.

      On the flip side, I suppose yes the drivers should have just driven off. In case anyone is wondering, I don't mind the French - I was only joking, so don't criticize my comment as it was obviously me kidding. The French aren't bad people. Most of the time.

      The same trains transport cars and coaches, another type transports lorries and the third type is high-speed Eurostar trains between Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and London all 3 types via the Channel tunnel. It's a vital link between the UK and the continent, transporting millions each year.
      And by the way, on the cars and coaches "Le Shuttle" there are single deck cars for coaches and large SUVs and double decks cars for regular automobiles, the loading of the double deck is even more impressive.

    • @KyrilPG
      @KyrilPG Před 3 lety +2

      I forgot a couple things : if you're interested in the Tunnel, there's a very good French and English coproduced series named "Tunnel" (by Canal+, easy to download somewhere) with the first season being about a crime committed exactly on the border line in the service and evacuation tunnel (third tunnel running between the two main ones) and a join task force of multi national detectives investigates while using extensively the tunnel. It was filmed on site and every procedure and location is real.
      Also, you should watch a documentary or two on CZcams about the construction of the tunnels (there are 3 in fact), and the way they work, the safety systems, the evacuation doors like fort knox safe doors connecting to the pressurized service tunnel etc. And one that features explanations about the pressure equalizing bypasses every few hundred meters, like evac doors and especially about "the cathedrals" of the tunnels, they are the two (or three, not sure) points deep under the sea where the service tunnel go deeper and the two main tunnels connect with track switches.

    • @furnitureconsortium
      @furnitureconsortium Před 3 lety +2

      I remember when the Chunnel was originally built (early 1990's) and it baffles me that they didn't include a regular four-lane carriageway. You would have your customary waits at the borders, but once you're on....should be a 20-25 minute trip. I don't know how much time would be shaved off that way.....versus driving to a carrier train and waiting until the train was filled up and then leave.
      Is my thinking off on this? was it a financial decision that caused them not to include it?

      @KyrilPG Před 3 lety +4

      @@furnitureconsortium Because in Europe we're not obsessed with cars. The point was to make a multipurpose tunnel and to replace air travel and a big chunk of ferry travel. There are 3 types of trains (maybe more in the future) going through the 2 main tunnels.
      Tunnels are built this way: 2 main tunnels, one for each way : North one UK>FR, South FR>UK (in normal operations). Plus a third smaller service and evac tunnel running between the two main ones and bypassing the two "cathedrals" (the 2 deep crossovers) by going under them.
      The system is divided into 6 main chunks, 3 for each side, separated by the giant underground crossovers (nicknamed "cathedrals"). In case a part of one of the two tunnels has to be closed (like after the big truck fire several years ago that severely damaged a part of one tunnel) the system can still operate round trips using one or two of the deep underground/water crossovers.
      Search Google for "Channel tunnel" and "plan", "schema", or "diagram", you will easily find images of the sections and schematics.
      The 3 types of trains:
      - Two "Le Shuttle" types of trains, one type for passenger vehicles, single or double deck. Single deck for coaches, larger SUVs, utility vehicles, vans etc., double deck for regular cars. One type for freight lorries and trucks. These trains only run between Calais - Coquelles (French side) and Dover / Folkestone - Castle Hill (UK side) and back.
      The 3rd type of trains running through the tunnel are high-speed Eurostar trains running between London and Paris, Disneyland Paris, French Alps, Brussels, Amsterdam etc.
      High-speed Eurostar trains do not stop, nor have to wait, nor go through customs before using the tunnels. It's seamless, Eurostar trains exit the high-speed line few kilometers before entering tunnels but never go through customs nor stop before or after the tunnels.
      The same tunnels are used for either freight trucks ON trains (kind of open "grill" liked train carriages), passenger vehicles like cars and coaches IN closed trains or passenger high-speed Eurostar trains.
      The crossing always takes between 20 and 25 minutes depending if you're on a Eurostar or Shuttle.
      Cars, coaches and trucks loading is surprisingly extremely fast and efficient. The Shuttle terminals on each end of the tunnels are only for vehicles (passenger and freight).
      Eurostar high-speed trains usually have priority over the passenger vehicles "Le Shuttle" trains which have priority over freight trucks Shuttles.
      Eurostar service doesn't run around the clock, there's no red eye middle of the night service, but Shuttles run 24 hours a day, especially freight trucks ones.
      Eurostar trains run a little faster in the tunnels than either types of Shuttle.
      Building a "highway" tunnel system was once studied but the likelyhood of accidents was way too high in such a long and deep tunnel system. Plus, people having panic attacks while driving 100m under the sea is something everyone wants to avoid.
      For security, comfort, efficiency and practicality reasons they built a dual tunnel railway system. So far it has been very safe and efficient, transporting millions every year. Even during major incidents the security and evacuation systems worked perfectly.
      Ah, and I forgot: the middle running service tunnel is pressurized and equipped with Fort-Knox bunker like doors so in case of fire smoke cannot enter the service tunnel. There are bunker doors connecting the service tunnel to the main ones every few hundred meters.
      I can also recommend you to look for documentaries on CZcams about the Channel Tunnel system.
      Having a 4 lane highway that deep and long under ground and water would have been a nightmare to operate and secure.
