UK: Why Stratford is the best bet FOR CHANNEL TUNNEL TERMINAL.

Some creative thinking seems evident on that tunnel route, at long last, says Roger Eglin.

Take a map of Britain and a pencil and assume for a moment that the Channel tunnel surfaces, not just inland from Folkestone, but further north, where should the pencil go to mark the tunnel's northern portal? Common-sense says it should emerge close to where most of its potential passengers want to start and finish their journey and at a point convenient for freight shippers.
