GATEWAY TO FRANCE

Well what can i say about the channel tunnel. First of all its an engineering marvel of the 20th century, but thats as far as it goes if like me you live right next to the entrance. The tunnel has taken away what used to be a beautiful rural part of Folkestone and turned it in to stone (I HATE IT). But in the name of progress its here and its gonna stay here. Effeciently you can't falt the tunnel, trains are every 20 mins and are hardly ever late. There are i think 3 ways to board the trains 1st is from london waterloo station direct to paris, next you can catch the train from Ashford international station (brand new) and last you can drive your car on the train from Folkestone to france on one of the shuttles, which is on my bloody door step.

ROUNDHILL TUNNEL

The roundhill tunnel was constructed about 4 years ago now and was built to link Folkestone and Dover via the M20 moterway. It was bored through the white chalk hills of Folkestone and takes away a vast amount of traffic that used to have to pass through Folkestone to get to Dover and the ports
