Dubai is working on building a 1,200 mile underwater train to India

Certainly not one for those with a fear of water

According to reports, the UAE now has plans to build a high speed train far down below the deep blue sea with a view of marine life on the way to India.

Yep

The underwater train has been proposed as an option for travellers to go between Dubai and Mumbai.

The 1,200 mile journey would potentially be used as public transport but also as a route for transporting water and oil with speeds travelling between 600 and 1000km hour.

That being said, this wouldn't be the first underwater tunnel as the Channel Tunnel that connects the UK to France has been functional since 1994.

However it would be far more impressive in size and speed.
