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.
This isn't about another tunnel, it's just having passport checks in Germany and not having to switch trains and going through border control in Brussels.
This is really not a big deal at all.
Exactly the same situation at the Fehmarn Tunnel to denmark
