Of course, is the tunnel really used as much as it should be? Where
are overnight through trains to Italy and Germany? (Preferably at
Italian prices - 10p per mile for an overnight couchette).

The rolling stock was built for such 'Nightstar' services but the idea
was dropped before a service train ran due, principally, to the
general reduction in European air fares. The stock was sold off and
is now running in Canada although the timetable paths for the
Nightstar trains still exist in some cases.
