    Victorian plans to link britain and ireland

    Victorian plans to link the uk and ireland have been found. The plans were to include an underground tunnel or enclosure on which a train system would run. It makes you wonder how relations between the two countries would have been if it ever came to fruition.

    Would have been a serious feat of engineering.

    As for relations, the chunnel certainly brought the UK closer to mainland europe.........

      Think you'll find that goes the other way. It brought europe closer to the uk.And made us a more accessible destination.

        I'd much prefered a tunnel between Ireland and the UK than one between UK and France.. That tunnel needs blowing up and pishing off to the bin of history..
