On 14 November 1994, the first public trains traversed the newly opened Channel Tunnel, creating a historic link between England and France beneath the English Channel.
This engineering marvel, commonly known as the "Chunnel," facilitated a new era of cross-border travel, reducing journey times significantly and offering a novel, seamless connection between the two nations.
The tunnel, spanning 31.4 miles, became one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects of its time, fostering economic ties, cultural exchange, and travel convenience, and marking a monumental achievement in modern transportation history.
