 * Having tracked down Damon Brown, the other rider was Nick Dutton-Taylor and it was probably circa November 1993 (close to the end of construction, but prior to opening). Brown was civil-engineer, and the idea had been pitched to MBUK after finding about the use of bicycles by contractors to get around inside the tunnel.  —Sladen (talk) 08:51, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've received a scan from Damon Brown along with some of the metadata:
 * I can't make out the page numbers as these are off the edge. The rest of the test is readable.  Four pages in total. —Sladen (talk) 17:45, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Wally Michalski
Wally Michalski is shown holding a newspaper in a photograph attributed to Jenn Pierce. The newspaper is not readable in the 619×485 version, but the text that can be made out appears to show "Weekender" "Chunneling under the Sea" "Saskatchewan workers made mark in world's largest engineering project". The article itself suggests that was in the "1994 Regina Leader-Post". —Sladen (talk) 14:29, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * , earlier this year I wasn't able to track down the rest of the metadata (author, page number, title, editor, ISSN, …) for the 1994 Canadian coverage. Do you still have a copy and can fill out the blanks?  —Sladen (talk) 05:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Cycling Weekly
These potential citations need tracking down and the metadata locating; see query above from earlier this year too:
 * This widely considered to be the first cross channel cycle trip in history. The crossing was originally detailed on a UK blog page called the Cross Connect Point. The Canadian Regina Leader‒Post newspaper of 7 May 1994 covered the event.&lt;ref>&lt;/ref>

 * Probably this issue which shows an article entitled "Riding the Channel Tunnel".  —Sladen (talk) 06:41, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
