The Channel Tunnel has been operating nearly sixteen years and there have been very few incidents. The new High Speed One line now terminates at the beautifully restored St Pancras Station and the service is generally very good.

It should also be noted that the Channel Tunnel is now being opened up to other rail companies from across Europe and that Eurostar no longer has a monopoly.

Furthermore Eurostar trains are undergoing major refurbishment, whilst other operates from across Europe plan a new generation of high speed trains which will use High Speed One.

As for sleeper trains that is agreat idea, currently you have to change at Paris for many of the sleeper services, however direct European sleeper services from St Pancras are an increasing possibility.
