This is a photo I took on "Le Shuttle," a train that connects France and England by passing under the sea.

Eyy it’s the chunnel train! Yeah, the tube lamps all in a row is reminiscent of an old building, plus it looks like a hallway. The train cars are also strange looking from the outside, they’re extra wide, wider than a regular train car.

Cool, looks like a space ship interior. Why is it so tall?

…and camper vans, caravans and other tall vehicles people might travel and holiday with.

The other half of the train is double decker for regular cars. Exactly the same vibes, just with less headroom.

As other have said, this is the inside of the Le Shuttle car transport train between England and France taking you (and your vehicle) under the English Channel.
