SubscribeEurotunnel employed camera crews to film every stage of the building of the Channel Tunnel. The new VHS video Channel Tunnel Trains draws largely on railway footage from this archive. The temporary narrow gauge railway built to help with construction is featured along with the development of Le Shuttle locomotives and stock and, of course, the impressive Eurostar trains. Those who believe in trains will not fail to be inspired by this video of the tunnel and trains which use it.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
Railfuture is the campaigning name of Railfuture Ltd.
