An EIS was done for that tunnel when I was a teenager. And then buried
to be forgotten about.
One of the issues was the freight trains would have to be electrically
hauled, and even in the 80s, the electrics were not favoured any more.
Also there was the issue of what to do with the old line - it wouldn't
be viable to keep it running (one of the reasons for the tunnel was to
bypass unstable geology), so a handful of stations would close and the
locations loose their rail service.
