Channel Tunnel

"Update on the Premier Lodge outbreak. We have estimated fifty Zulus on the streets of Folkestone and we have a fix on the origin. The Channel Tunnel is breached. Repeat. The Channel Tunnel is breached." - Captain Martin The Channel Tunnel is 31 miles of railway that goes underneath the English Channel, and is the only point that connects France and Britain. During the outbreak, for safety, they closed the Channel Tunnel off, by RAF bombers.

Before the Zulu Alpha
The Channel Tunnel was using high speed passenger trains to and from France and Britain. A Eurotunnel for vehicles and international freight trains..

During the Fall
The civilian attacks were more than the French forces could handle, and security fell at the tunnel a lot faster than anyone expected. The disease was already amongst most of the refugee's by the time anyone tried to step in, and it was too late to shut down the tunnel. It started to get over run, even though no trains were leaving. The last one had already left, and the refugee's were fleeing to nowhere. There was a group of about thirty survivors that made there way deep enough where a freight train with dry goods had been abandoned. Major Grews had asked if they could send help down there, to get the survivors, but the answer was a hard no. By the time they realized the channel tunnel was filling with the dead, word came that the tunnel was destroyed by air. The midway fail-safe would take hours to close, and by that time the tunnel would be over run and too late. The RAF bombers hit it about 3 miles away from the Calais entrance. Worrying about water and Zulu's flooding the beaches after the collapse of the tunnel, they had orders to placed a dozen charges on the English side of the tunnel as well as the maintenance tunnel. But direct orders were to destroy that too. But the water never flooded, so they never set of the charges.

Zulu Alpha
They filled the tunnels with debris from demolished buildings.

Eventually zulus got through the breech. A Foxtrot November first, attacking Addison and Chambers, and eventually starting the Battle of Folkestone.
