Wasn't it "on this day" in 1990 that the tunnels were connected for the first time?

Nothing like marking the occasion.......

Nothing on bbc news or on the travel updates

2113 Paris - St Pancras was due in at 2235 but actually got in at 2329 *shrug*!

It was indeed, 21 years ago

On topic, it sounds like nothing major happened (thankfully)

Oh yeah, dunno where I got 2001 from...

EDIT: Oh yeah, I added 11 to 1990 and my post was meant like 'wouldn't that make the year now 2001'
