"The Tunnel" - does season 2 justify the show's title?

TT's first victim(s) was found in the Eurotunnel, and that seems to be the entire basis for the show's title.

Now sure, Karl and Elise also spend an inordinate amount of their time shuttling between France and the UK, but that hardly counts as a thematic element.

What about Season 2? No spoilers just - are there any significant scenes in the Eurotunnel? Or some other tunnel, maybe?

There's a lot of traveling back and forth (through the tunnel), because the French and English, and of course Karl and Elise, work together again.

The initial triggering event happens to occur in the tunnel, but it's not a body cut in two, and as with S1, the initial triggering event is quickly superseded by other events as the story snowballs.

Very significantly, Karl completely thwarts Grey and his men by reaching the halfway point AND the French police after the slow-speed car chase.
