This will undoubtedly put an END to Europe as it has been for thousands of years.
You can’t fix stupid
More thugs with knives riding the rails?
Why connect Spain to Morocco, at best a 3rd world country with nothing to offer the EU except migrants?
We need high speed rail with nonstop service between El Salvador and Texas
Because filling Europe with 3rd world migrants has been great so far.
If they actually move forward with this, it will be completed decades before the Kalifornia super train to nowhere.
Back around Y2K I was TDY in Minneapolis for a year. Big issue then over whether to extend light rail out to the Mall of America. The Mall then was clean, safe, and family-friendly. (”Minnesota Nice” was a real thing back then.) It was such a tourist attraction that they had a dedicated lot with hookups for motorhomes.
Well years passed, and they went and did it. As predicted, the Mall immediately became a destination for urban low-lifes. No longer family-friendly, especially evenings and weekends. There’s even been at least one gang murder out there. I doubt not that tourist trade has fallen off.
Take heed, Gibraltar.
The woke engineering firms will screw it up.
I wouldn’t ride on it.
Working on that ol’ One World thing.
They are comparing it to the Channel Tunnel between France and England, but there is an active fault line running through the straits, Which the tunnel would have to cross, and hundreds of feet below the surface. Hate to be on that train when the quake hits the strait.
Invasion by train instead of boat.
Idiotic project motivated by burning through as many EU funds as possible, cf. “grift and corruption.” And damn the consequences.

These people are nuts!
Why - the first question one should ask.
And then there’s the obvious concerns - any failure and you have people trapped - in a tunnel - with no way out.
Moving migrants rapidly to Europe. 😆
Oh great. Now African can get to the welfare office even faster.
George Soros only has so much money. Getting idiot countries to pay for a permanent path into their countries is cheaper for “the evil one”.
Are people insane over there?
Have they looked at the numbers? If they let in 10% of the third world all of Europe would be overwhelmed and destroyed. And it wouldn’t begin to help the 90% still living in 3rd world hellholes.
It really is adding an thr3e hundred people to a lifeboat designed for 60 people. Gumballs... watch the gumball video.
