Workers completed the main excavation of the Brenner Base Tunnel between Austria and Italy that will eventually become a high-speed rail line linking north and south Europe. The Brenner Base Tunnel, which is being billed as the world's longest underground rail connection, is a centrepiece of the EU's drive to shift freight off the roads and onto rail, to cut pollution and boost European trade.

Looking forward to it!
I traveled along the old train route this August, and the view was spectacular - but I wouldn't mind shaving off some time from the journey, either.
