The Channel Tunnel and its High Speed Links was published by Oakwood Press in March 2006.

The first comprehensive history and assessment of the Channel Tunnel, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the high-speed lines to the tunnel in France and Belgium.

"Man's dream of connecting England and France at their closest points was born the moment a North Sea swollen by the melting of the Ice Age's great glaciers broke through to create the Channel some 10,000 years ago...

Yet such dreams had no point to them until modern technology made some man-made connection possible, and even once the means existed to avoid a sea crossing, politicians and financiers questioned whether such a link was desirable or viable.

Some, indeed, still have to be convinced, for even now the tunnel has been open for nearly a decade, it has proved a technical achievement rather than a bonanza for its promoters, and there have been unexpected disadvantages."

The Railway Magazine said :-

"The book is a delight and covers every aspect of the tunnel's conception and construction, backed up by a highly diverse selection of colour photographs and monochrome track diagrams to put everything in context. The ongoing development of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link is also covered in detail.

This book is written by a Daily Telegraph journalist who has followed the story of the Tunnel's construction from the beginning and his enthusiasm for his subject shows through in the comprehensive way he has put this book together."
