Change the title, it is being built by both Italy and France

CHANGE THE TITLE,!!! Give Italy some credit they are the main financiers not the french,

It is France AND Italy together that build the tunnel, not only France. The Swiss have done this on their own some years ago with the Gotthard tunnel of 55 km.

Wtf, it's both France AND Italy, why highlight only France on the title? It's a serious channel this?

Why distances in miles? The international unit is the kilometer, wake up, man!

These "base" tunnels running through the "base" of the mountains with almost no grade, are revolutionizing European rail travel.

France and Italy , togheter building....

And Italy pays more then France for it!

Completely misleading! There's not one single Dollar spent on that project! It's in Europe (a lesser-known geographical area outside the U S., but still on earth). And YES, there's human life outside the U.S., with people speaking their own languages, using their own measures und having their own currencies!

The landslide work was not to have been completed in "summer 2024". It's earliest opening was scheduled for December 2024, this has now been pushed back to Spring 2025.

As long as you talk about miles, i am not going to watch or subscribe.

Why are you showing NYC trains?

the channel tunnel is the railway champion for going under water that going through a mountain

4:28 ...why are you showing a rail network map of SPAIN?

Connectivity & Transparency is the Future of Europe 🇪🇺

Way to go!

I am sure that this mega railway project will be opened BEFORE 2030

The indicated budget is only for the main tunnel. France will be building an additional 140 km of tracks, including 86 km of tunnels. Italy will build an additional 48 km of tracks including 38 km of tunnels. As France will be spending significantly more to link to the main tunnel than Italy, Italy is paying a larger share of the main tunnel. The entire project is 271 km long, with about 180 km of tunnels.

This is impressive ! Meanwhile here in Québec, Canada we can't afford asphalt for our roads and besides, in Canada, we don't care for trains.

Mountain heights in miles? Come on! International units please! And when you speak about a project in Europe in miles and feet nobody understands it. You should speak in kilometers and meters and for the Americans add the miles or feet in the subtext.

You are mixing metric system units with prehistoric imperial units. Why? Use metric units only.

Love it Love how the EU works together for its citizens. There is nothing like it on the world. The UK is so far behind, living in the past. The petroleum based is economy has so many amazing opportunities but can’t get it done. Have used several times in Europe it’s the best. Comfy, peaceful, efficient.

Oui!

Not concerned with CO2 emissions but greater efficiency and convenience is to be applauded. Am amazed the EU is putting up 40% of the cost. Seems a high contribution when the marginal benefit to other countries will not be that large?

I’m curious where exactly this railway will go. I often think railway should be used for the goods transport. As it’s right now European motorways are taken over by trucks . I look forward . A month ago we were driving from Turin🇮🇹 to Swiss town of Montreux and there is unfortunately no railway there . Would be nice to connect the railway to Switzerland too …

Great project. Seems to be going ok. If it was in the UK it would now be three years behind schedule, and four times over budget. Time we had a Manchester to Leeds base tunnel……………

I like it, traveling to Milan and St. Moritz and Tirana this Fall, USA is so far behind on Train Travels! 💙💙💙🇺🇸

I am going to go out on a limb here, but my guess is that many of the groups against the project are funded by the auto, trucking, and airline industries, maybe with a few Alps towns worried about fewer travelers stopping in their towns.

Kinda odd that MTA subway train footage is used in this vid on a tunnel between Turin, Italy and Lyon, France. Just wondering where the criticism against this project originated? Whilst driving through this region several years ago, the constant line of trucks passing through small alpine villages and towns was also lined with by the side of the road monuments for locals who became victims of this traffic. In the meantime the traffic in this area has significantly increased. When this line will finally be open, it will have a significant impact on this transalpine traffic. Provided of course that piggyback transport becomes the standard. Cheerio

Quite impressive.Italy especially needs to get rid of very short stage length flights, which France supposedly is implementing.

What for, to bring in more muslims?

Your video is verbaly correct but your images are way from being right. You are talking ofFrance and Italy but showing the railways of the UK on occasions. You need better research on the imagaes side. PS and the New York subway????

Sometimes, before watching a potentially interesting clip - especially if it is about something I am familiar with -, I check the comments first. And comments here convinced me that this is not a video I want to see - thank you, but no thank you

Why are you expressing the cost in dollars? It should be in euros as both, Italy and France have euros as their currency.

It's a great project - really worthwhile. But why the random video clips and so little on the forecast structure and level of the environmental and economic benefits?

That's one expensive tunnel.

The worlds gonna look like a hollowed out minecraft server soon

I believe Sydney can be connected to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury with overnight container Japanese SC container trains removing all trucks and planes on that route with 60 Chinese TBM in three years for less than au $100b with the Parrahub project.

All these CO2 emissions seems to be pie in the sky values.

I will subscribe if you will start using metric system only.

It all sounds good but yes I agree. Change the name.

At least it makes the journey for the immigrants shorter!

Is this a permitted project or just conjecture?

Wolę oglądać krajobrazy Alp, nie pojadę.

As far as I know, the railway tunnel is only for high-speed trains between major cities. So not for freight or local train networks. Therefore I consider 28 B$ to be an economic nonsense

stupid project again just to get commission as usual >>>>

We need to modernize the railways, but that won't take trucks off the road. Il faut bien moderniser les voies ferrées, mais ça n'enlèvera pas les camions de la route.
