    Interesting. Any particular reason the channel tunnel would last longer than say the Gotthard?

    I guess the gotthard is in the alps so landslides and rockfalls?

        Thanks. I now realise that the Gothard Base Tunnel was only completed after the book was released. Which explains why it wasn’t mentioned.
