Is it as good as a chocolate fire-guard? :D

huh?

 

Kept this quiet havnt they? or have I just been living in the dark?

Actually isnt it the tunnel thats featured in one of the die hard movies lol

LMFAO!! :D

 

The sensation of flying at 400mph with no engine noise or vibration will make the journey through the tunnel a unique experience. On board each customer has the same amount of personal space as you get on a 1st Class flight on a Boeing 747, complete with reclining chairs, adjustable head rests, a personal mini plasma screen TV with 204 different channels to choose from. As the train is three times as wide as a normal train, passengers will have plenty of room to move around at their leisure. On board there are three restaurants, a gym, showers and changing rooms, a bookstore as well as a duty-free shop.

 

In tests, people have reported that the "jet-lag" effect is dramatically reduced. Because passengers won't feel any forward momentum from the ATTS, it will seem as though they haven't moved. The best description came from one of engineers who said, "It's like a time machine. You embark in Swansea and then before you know it, you're in the US." The only indicator of the journey's progress will be a GPS-linked display on the ATTS's information TV channel.

lol sounds top, lmao at the time machine comment

Technically if it works we could all go for a Z trip to the US for a weekend lol.
