destructdiscNobody takes a train from Germany to France
I had a US colleague stay with me in Ireland for a week and he was asking if it was possible to catch a train to England. It’s amazing the geographic ignorance of some people and Americans seem to be especially afflicted. Maybe it’s because the USA is so big and large cities so far apart it doesn’t occur to them that Europe is not the same.
If it wasn’t for NI being somehow behind the times compared to both England and Ireland, there would be a chunnel between them.
I doubt it. The enormous cost of the chunnel made economic, as well as symbolic and political sense. Between ireland and UK it wouldn’t.
Some to think about it, maybe now it should be closed
Swednecki’d say the largest reason it won’t happen is that ireland has a tiny population, compared to the channel tunnel linking london and france
