  Regarding splitting the train in the event of a fire, I could never understand why this didn't happen. In the first major fire it would have been the obvious answer to getting the truckers to safety far more quickly than was the actual case. When I first started using Le Shuttle much was made of this "safety feature". The freight shuttle is supposed to disconnect immediately behind the Club Car, thus leaving all the freight carriages in the tunnel while the lead loco and the Club Car, with all the passengers, could safely exit the tunnel very quickly indeed.
  
  I suspect the answer has something to do with how the disconnection is actually achieved.
