No , they have their fair share of long tunnels built for sound economic reasons. Maybe bonkers was the wrong word , but I just can't see what this tunnel might hope to achieve that's why I asked the question.Would you be using the term 'bonkers' if china, or Japan, or Norway were proposing something equivalent?
Admittedly if it could be completed in a few weeks it would be great . But by the time it is completed Scotland could be an independent foreign nation or a member of the the EU . And/or the EU could be a busted flush and in even les of a position to throw it's weight around than it is now. I would like someone who lives in Scotland or NI to say why they think a tunnel that will be in operation in around 2027 will be of help to them. Not the jobs created building it , but long term.
Then we have HS2 , the big (white) Elephant in the room to get on with.
