Geological profile along the tunnel as constructed. For most of its length the tunnel bores through a chalk marl stratum (layer).
Typical cross section, with the service tunnel between the two rail tunnels; shown linking the rail tunnels is a piston relief duct, necessary to manage changes in air pressure caused by the very fast movement of trains.
