Olympic flame could arrive through tunnel

Eurotunnel has come up with an idea to let the London Olympics go one better than Beijing.

It has offered the organisers use of the tunnel should they want to bring the Olympic flame to Britain across the Channel by foot rather than by ferry or plane.

“This would be the greenest possible way to bring the flame to the UK, and as far as we know the torch has never gone underground before,” said a spokesman.

They wouldn’t even have to stop the trains – the runners in 2012 could use the service tunnel, which lies between the two main bores.
