  1. Maximum depth is 60m or about 197 feet beneath the English Channel seabed


  2. Hi Coz:

    The Channel Tunnel (French: le tunnel sous la Manche), or Chunnel, is a 50.450 km (31.35 mi) long rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover, connecting Folkestone, Kent in the United Kingdom (51°5′49.5″N 1°9′21″E / 51.097083, 1.15583 (Folkestone end of tunnel)) to Coquelles near Calais in northern France (50°55′22″N 1°46′50.16″E / 50.92278, 1.7806 (Coquelles end of tunnel)).

    It was a megaproject with several false starts, but it was finally completed in 1994. It is the second-longest rail tunnel in the world, with the Seikan Tunnel in Japan being longer, but the undersea section of the Channel Tunnel, at 37.9 km (23.55 miles), is the longest undersea tunnel in the world. It is operated by Eurotunnel. The American Society of Civil Engineers has declared the tunnel to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
