The Swiss are in the process of boring through the Alps in an attempt to establish a rail link between the two parts of Europe divided by the mountain range.

Trains will run at speeds up to 240 km/h, and the Gotthard Base Tunnel between the Swiss towns of Faido and Biasca will be a record 57 kilometres long.
