its what 22 miles?

the train takes 35 minutes so it only does like 60ish mph anyway

you want to drive in a boring tunnel for 22miles, didn't think so, anyway it will still take longer because it's narrow so there will be traffic lights at each end so you'll be waiting for atleast 22mins then another 22mins of driving maybe longer because someone will crash

driving 22 miles in a tunnel would be fun, think of the noise

you could probably get two or more lanes each way aswell, remember its wide enough for a couple train tracks

how do they go on in the dartford/mersey tunnels for crashes?

sorry about that one, there are two tunnels one westbound one eastbound but both are single track, so no overtaking
