Eurotunnel 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.
