The Channel Tunnel opened in 1994, a 31-mile (50 km) long tunnel linking England to France. One of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, it's Britain's only fixed link to mainland Europe and, as of 2018, over 80 million vehicles had transited the tunnel. The Eurostar train also uses the tunnel although passengers tend to board in London's St. Pancras station.
