How long does it take to go through the channel tunnel?
The Channel Tunnel, also known as the Chunnel, is a 50.5-kilometre (31.4-mile) undersea rail tunnel that connects Folkestone, Kent, in the United Kingdom, with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais, in northern France, beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover.
