Brussels-South railway station Brussels-South (Dutch: "Brussel-Zuid" , French: "Bruxelles-Midi" , IATA code: ZYR) is the biggest railway station in Brussels, capital of Belgium. As Brussels is a bilingual entity, both the French and Dutch names are official. This often leads to the usage of combined shorthands outside Belgium: for example in the "Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable", Brussels-South is designated as "Brussels Midi /Zuid "; Dutch Railways announce the station as "Brussel Zuid/Midi". 1,000 trains pass between Brussels-South and Brussels-North railway stations every day. The station is connected to the "Gare du Midi /Zuidstation " station of the Brussels Metro system.

New Lower Inn Valley railway The New Lower Inn Valley railway (German: "Neue Unterinntalbahn") is a partially completed double-track high-speed main line of the Austrian railways. It connects the Brenner railway at Innsbruck and the Innsbruck bypass with the line to Kufstein, connecting with Germany, Salzburg and eastern Austria. It forms a part the core of the network of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). The bypass is part of Line 1 of the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T). The first section (Kundl–Baumkirchen), which is designed for speeds up to 220 km/h, was opened on 26 November 2012. Since the timetable change on 9 December 2012, it relieves the existing Lower Inn Valley railway between Wörgl and Baumkirchen with trains able to operate at up to 250 km/h. In the future, these and other construction projects (including the Brenner Base Tunnel) are expected to reduce travel time on the Munich-Innsbruck route from 1:50 to 0:55 and on the Munich–Verona route from 5:20 to 2:20. The cost of the project amounted to € 2.358 billion.

Nyborg Tunnel The Nyborg Tunnel is a proposed 8 km long road tunnel between Åsane and Klauvaneset in the city-municipality of Bergen in Hordaland county, Norway. If built, it would extend the four-lane motorway section of European route E39 (E39) from Åsane northwards to the Nordhordland Bridge. The tunnel is presumed financed with a five-year toll collection at the bridge while the tunnel is being built, and then with a toll on the tunnel for 15 years. It is estimated to cost 1,900 million kr . Construction is planned to start in 2014 . The tunnel would branch off the current E39 highway at Åsane, just west of the IKEA store, and it would head northwards. It would exit the tunnel just south of the Nordhordland Bridge.
