Re: Re: Bridge to Scotland

i just saw a documentary on a transatlantic tunnel

thought it might be ideal for a connection to Britain without the cost or amount of time it takes to bore a tunnel or the whole problem of the weather with a bridge. the fact the a submerged tunnel hasn’t been tried isn’t so comforting but i wonder has anyone considered this?

the other night i was coming into heuston and as i looked at a train on the tracks the whole thing exploded in flames so it doesn’t inspire confidence in IE, the fire brigade took about 10 mins to respond so i wonder what a response time to say the middle of the irish sea would be.
