If you can sit on a coach for hours then you can sit on the bus inside the train for forty minutes. The journey is really quick. We use the tunnel all the time now, and on the trains carrying cars there is a walkway down each side of the vehicles, but only about a yard wide. The only place you can walk is up and down the train - but don't worry, as I said, just take a book and imagine you are just sitting on the coach.

The carriage where the buses travel is quite tall, and although your bus will fill the height, the area outside can feel quite roomy. Not anything like as claustrophobic as you would think. If you stay on the bus it's just like being on a bus at night, with lights on in the carriage. I would use the toilets at the terminals rather than on the train.

If you are in a coach you be driven into the carriages that have only one storey, as opposed to the car carriages which have 2 storeys, so the roof is quite high. Either way there is room around the vehicle to get out and stretch your legs and to walk alongside vehicles if necessary, to access other carriages to get to toilets. Your vehicle is simply inside a train carriage for the 40 minutes or so it takes to make the crossing.

Eurotunnel seem to prefer to load the coaches at the front of the train. This will mean that the part of the train with the entrance/exit ramps is available to walk round in. You can always sit in the bus with headphones on and just doze.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

You can see an example of the tiny windows on the right of the picture. The train itself is brightly lit, as you can see, and you get no impression of actually being in a tunnel.
