Is there a project called Irish Sea Tunnel that is the subject of this article? I suspect not, but rather that the article should be renamed to be Irish Sea tunnel, or better still, Proposals for an Irish Sea tunnel. See guidelines for naming articles. -- sony-youth pléigh 19:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree with your stance on the naming issue Sony-youth. In addition, I believe any proposal if and when forthcoming, would be described as a Megaproject. I think we can describe it as such in the intro.

I have to object to the name of the article due to British Isles naming dispute. Since most options laid out in this article envisage this project funded primarily by or substantially involving Ireland, and Ireland does not recognise "British Isles" as referring to Ireland, a more appropriate name would be "Irish Sea Fixed Crossing" or similar. 17:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cros13 ( talk • contribs)
It would be useful to have a List of overseas crossings including the Channel Tunnel and the Belt Bridge between Denmark and Sweden.

The result of the move request was: not moved, no prejudice against starting a new RM to discuss a new proposed title. (non-admin closure) Jenks24 ( talk) 12:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Irish sea crossing – This route has been proposed as both a bridge and a tunnel.

Why is unsourced content & OR added to the article over and over again?
...and so on. If you don't have a source which supports what you want to say, don't add it. bobrayner ( talk) 12:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
What is the problem with this small piece of text? Ireland and Britain use different gauges. If a tunnel is built there will be a break of gauge problem to overcome. I want to explain to people that there are ways to overcome this problem. When I read the article, it sounds as if a break of gauge is a problem that can't be fixed, because the article doesn't mention how it can be fixed. It doesn't matter if the sources don't mention an Irish Sea Tunnel, the options to overcome a break of gauge problem are exactly the same all over the world. Just because the tunnel is between Ireland and Britain, doesn't mean that we can't use the same technology used in Japan to overcome the problem.
What harm would this information do if it stays in the article? Can you please tell me exactly what you are looking for in a reference? 86.42.98.44 ( talk) 20:04, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Started working on this page recently and I have taken a few decisions to shape the content into covering fixed sea links of the British Isles / proposed and existing.
Im also going to clear away some of the older talk comments above.
Work in progress.

I hope that is an improvement, just about done I think - I would like to remove the warning straps now if everyone is happy.................. Bulverton ( talk) 20:12, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Are the Channel Islands any British Isles? There is an article on a suggested Channel Islands Tunnel between them and France.-- BIL ( talk) 20:10, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
The UK engineering firm Symonds is referenced twice on this page. Which Symonds would this be? Capita Symonds? Symonds Engineering PLC? Or some other company? -- The Anome ( talk) 19:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
