Today's news includes a couple of reports on rail safety in the US, post Lac-Megantic. One door shuts (engineering work shuts Gatwick rail link).. and another opens at Loughborough, where a bridge will link the Great Central Railway North and South, creating 18 miles of heritage railway across Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
The subject of money comes into play with HS2... farmers are affected by HS2 and their investments, and according to a report, £300 million has already been spent on work relating to HS2.
The OECD hopes that new export credit rules will boost railway development and help countries achieve greener growth. Meanwhile China's high speed rail tops charts for proper monetary insulation - (you'll have to read the article!)
