I think "undersea" has a specific meaning that doesn't include tunnels, Sandy.

But you couldn't 'accidentally' drag an anchor over a cable if it was secured under railway lines.

I do see it would only be a small part of all the cables we now use.

That's fine if the cables link the UK and Europe but if it's not the UK, cables would need to be under water prior to entering the tunnel.

They already do, there are hundreds in the tunnel already.

the Ruskies could send a missile or three down it....??

ElecLink and Colt both run their cables through the Channel Tunnel:
