[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6766876, member: 8735"] We've spent the last fifty years subsidising the infrastructural development of our nearest competitors, to the tune of half a trillion pounds at current rates and prices... The channel tunnel was rubbished by many for a long time, other constructions have been too and yet they have succeeded. I simply don't have sufficient engineering understanding to say whether this is viable or not. But I've read the opinions of both engineers and architects who say it's a goer if the will to build it is there. For myself, the more connected the various parts of the UK are, the better. However, I'd start with a public subsidy of ferry prices around the whole of the UK, brining them down to whatever the cost would be for driving the equivalent distance - that would truly level the playing field nationally for businesses. After that, I see no problem with increasing links across the Union and stimulating the economy by projects such as this. But I think the Larne to Portpatrick route to be the obvious choice if it is possible. [/QUOTE]
