It's going to be the same thing as with the Brenner tunnel.

It's a massive rail project connecting Italy, Austria and Germany. Italy and Austria are building a massive 64km long tunnel through the Alps, mostly on time and in budget (slight overrun, not a lot).

Germany is supposed to build a surface rail track to connect to the tunnel. Nothing complicated, just rail tracks. They haven't even started yet, because a handful NIMBYs are more important than a huge infrastructure project.

Expect the same when UK and Germany are building a direct rail connection.
