Will the tunnel have much impact on NYC - LON flights :-)
http://www.atlantictunnel.com/
From the website: Welcome to the Atlantic Tunnel. In September 2009 we are proud to announce our first high-speed magnetic suspension train that will embark on its maiden journey under the Atlantic Ocean to New Jersey. To celebrate the occasion, we're giving 100 people the chance to make history by winning an all expense return trip to New York on the first train through the Tunnel. dennis |

But then again, is it possible that Jules Verne is alive and well, living in Paris, and laughing up his brocade sleeve.

Also, you'd think that they would have landd th tunnel at the eastern tip of Long Island instead of New Jersey. In fact, they could have connected to JFK airport. But they were much smarter than that. This is a vehicular tunnel and there is no point in a terminus at an airport. Also, had they put it at the eastern tip of Long Island, drivers would still have to traverse all of a veeeeerrrrry long island and the narrow but congested island of Manhattan before actually reaching continental America which does not start until the west side of the Hudson River. The NJ terminus of the trans-atlantic tunnel is actually right next to the parking lot for a hot dog stand equidistant from Routes 17 and 280. Gives arrivals a choice of eating or getting into the traffic back up for Paramus Mall.
