UK people who were adults when the Chunnel opened, what was it like? (lemmy.ca)

What was life like before and after? Was there a noticeable change? Was it more of a mental change? Anything else?

Never taken it but it would have been handy as a kid as we did the Dover-Calais crossing more but switched to Portsmouth-Le Havre.

Friends in London find it handy. Being from The North it hasn't impacted my life. Now if they'd run a high speed rail link down the east coast right to the Chunnel that would be a game changer.
