Travelling by ship is the most expensive per passenger mile so I imagine its pretty horrendous!

Probably not, running a train through the tunnel is cheep, digging a tunnel in the first place isn't. The pricing is probably as high as the market will bear, and I'm guessing it'll be a very long time until its profitable!
