20 years since the Channel Tunnel opened, doesn't seem possible!
After spiralling construction costs the project has always been dogged with debt, but apparently the owners finally turned a profit in 2012.
Some great Chunnel facts from the Beeb.
My favourite is:
"Two of the 11, mighty boring machines used to dig the thing are still down there, buried. Funnily enough, they don't fit them with a reverse gear, so it was cheaper to put in a 90-degree turn and bury them in the wall, rather than dismantle them and bring them out."
How's that for a time capsule for future generations to ponder over
