   • 1961 December, “The Channel Tunnel—a realistic proposal”, in Trains Illustrated, page 722:

     The continued growth of cross-Channel traffic, the urgent question of the renewal of the short-sea fleet of the B.T.C. and its installations, and the possible entry of Britain into the Common Market make an early decision on the tunnel highly desirable, if not vital.

   • 1963 January, “Transport in the Common Market”, in Modern Railways, page 3:

     Does a common market in goods require a common market in transport services? Although nearly five years have passed since the inception of the 12-year phased transition of the Six to full "common market" conditions, this general question has still to be settled among member countries.
