PROFILE |
 |
Like the Concorde, that other Anglo-French feat of transport engineering, Eurotunnel's Channel Tunnel (the Chunnel) is a technical wonder and -- so far -- a financial disaster. The Eurotunnel Group consists of UK-based Eurotunnel P.L.C. and France-based Eurotunnel S.A. The Anglo-French group owns and operates the Chunnel and its railway system, which carries passengers, vehicles, and freight between Folkestone and Coquelles. The parties involved in the Chunnel's construction seriously underestimated the engineering challenge and costs involved in the project. Despite having 19 million passengers a year, Eurotunnel has run up some $10 billion in debt.
