The Channel Tunnel - Life on the Inside. Episode 1 - Going with the Flow.

People who have nothing good to say about Tash are sad, I think she is adorable!!

I wonder how many shuttle drivers tap their toe on their car accelerator on their way home after a shift ?, I used to drive Buses and after a long week I have been known to pull up into a bus stop in my own car, I felt silly when I realised the people expecting a bus were staring at me in my Mini.

Tash has got the nicest hands of any train driver ive ever seen....

Wow that Tash Speed is a good looking train driver.

Tash has got to be the prettiest train driver out there 🥰

I was born in England and lived the first twenty six years of my life in Essex. I moved to Australia where I have lived the last fifty years. I emigrated in 1972 before the tunnel was working and have always wondered how things there work. Now thanks to this wonderful site I know how it does. Thank you so much.

As a Dane I remember wasting much time on ferries, and also being asked to leave the ferry again, because of a faulty part. I came home at 3 am, having to work Monday at 7! The new Danish Built Tunnel to Germany, close to the length of The Channel Tunnel, will be for trains and cars to drive for themselves and at the time when arriving!

I rode train through Chunnel the first year it opened. It was an experience I will never forget. Hard to believe it has been more than 25 years.

Everybody saying how Tash is such a good-looking train driver.....well yes indeed, fair comment. But far more important IMHO is the fact that she is a very good one!

How cute was that little French man at the end with his toy windmill?! 🇫🇷💨

They don't have to call themselves train drivers, toe-tappers will do. Tash is adorable.

Two stop tash is my favourite

I did this with my pal Burt. I wanted to fly to Paris but Burt didn't like flying. I absolutely loved it and we both got totally pissed

Such a cool system. Also very cool documentary styling everything to fit the era the train was created.

My favourite job was at a flight maintenance centre, where it seemed like everybody'd been working between 25 and 35 years there, the wholesome buzz that most coworkers there gave off was beautiful magic 🍸

I'm sure it's not the way, but I chose to believe that Jose had to walk all the way back to France, holding his whirlygig, just to make sure.

My dad worked on the tunnel when it was being built, H&S and has told me many fascinating stories. Not just about how it was built but like how a struggling nightclub was allowed a 24/7 license for the many workers doing off shift hours and finishing work in the morning etc and how it saved the business. To how the local dover police bought loads of riot vans etc thinking all the brought in workers would cause drunk and disorderly behaviour on their down time and they never had an issue etc. I wish he would write a book about it, I find it fascinating and he tells them a lot better than I do.

Normally the trains travel at 140 kph, but they can operate at 160 kph. During the London olympics the trains were used at the higher speed. This allows an extra train to travel in the tunnel each way at the same time. If you are directed in your car to the upper deck, be careful on the apex of the ramp which narrows and you can easily hit the kerb and damage your alloy wheels. The recorded announcements in English were made by John Humphries.

13:33 Also known as LOTOTO (Lock-out, Tag-out and Try-out), the most common way to secure any switches, knobs or other handles on machines etc. when maintenance is needed
