I am not sure, but I hope you don't forget about me.

The record-breaking tunnel being built from Denmark to Germany.
Running for 18km, the Fehmarnbelt will be the world's longest pre-fabricated road and rail tunnel. The remarkable feat of engineering will see segments of the tunnel placed on top of the seafloor, and then joined together.
The link will slash journey times between much of Scandinavia and continental Europe.

Network Rail has won the Spotlight Net Zero Pioneer Award for its innovative ‘hedgehog’ sleeper design. Made from 90% recycled materials, the KLP® Hybrid Polymer "Hedgehog" Track Sleeper lasts twice as long as concrete sleepers, reduces carbon emissions, and can be replaced mechanically for quicker installation. The sleepers, which resemble hedgehogs beneath the rails, are expected to roll out in early 2026. They contain 90% less carbon than wooden sleepers and 78% less than concrete ones, potentially reducing carbon emissions by 24.5 million kg annually if used to replace concrete sleepers. This #innovation aligns with Network Rail's goal of reducing carbon emissions in #railway #infrastructure. The design has been praised for its sustainability and potential to transform #rail #transport.
