EUROTUNNEL, the consortium that will operate the Channel Tunnel, has
been given leave to carry passengers inside their vehicles, despite fierce

from the British and French governments told Eurotunnel on Tuesday that
it need not separate passengers from their cars provided the system meets
certain safety conditions.
