Thread: It's the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Channel Tunnel

In an effort to extend its benefits beyond the south east of England, plans were made for a night train between Swansea and Paris

This is the story of Wales' own wagons-lit...

Looking forward to this event led by the wondrous Dr David Turner and co-organised by History at Aston and Transport Studies! Free and open to the public, join in if you are in #Birmingham #Midlands and help to spread the word! Relevant to all interested in transport, past and present!

Delighted to see the work of various teams including two of my reports come together with the reopening of the Signalling Gallery and balcony platform National Railway Museum Well done and thank you everyone!

Thirty years ago today - 6 May 1994 - the Channel Tunnel was officially opened

It's worth pointing out that it cost £4.65 bn, when the estimate was £2.6 bn (1985 prices), an 80% overrun.

But no one thinks about that now - we have a fantastic piece of infrastructure.
