High Speed Rail Group has launched a new report ‘Driving Investment in Rail Infrastructure'. The report calls for the government to adopt a whole system approach to #rail, and outlines the critical steps needed to create a long-term rail infrastructure strategy that brings in private investment and explores a range of funding options. The multitude of benefits new rail infrastructure offers is not unknown but is not always articulated as clearly as it could be. Our high speed rail director, Neil Henderson FICE CEng, delivers that insight in the report by detailing how new rail infrastructure offers significant opportunities for economic growth, as well as social and environmental benefits. It creates new jobs, connects communities, and stimulates investment in areas of greatest need. Additionally, the new UK government’s planned housing-led growth is impossible without supporting #infrastructure. Despite these benefits, the UK lags behind the rest of Europe in new rail infrastructure development, particularly in northern England. The report stresses the need for pragmatic solutions and rebuilding confidence in the UK’s design and construction sector to deliver rail projects on time and within budget.

Poland is building its longest rail tunnel! Poland is gearing up to construct its longest-ever rail tunnel, stretching about 3.8 km through the Western Beskids mountains in the southern part of the country. This new tunnel is part of a project aimed at modernizing the railway line between Nowy Sącz and the village of Chabówka in the Małopolska province. PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A., Poland's railway infrastructure management company, has signed a PLN1.9 billion (439 MEUR) contract to oversee the project. The tunnel will be constructed by a consortium consisting of Polish contractor Budimex and Turkish infrastructure specialist Gülermak Heavy Industries Construction & Contracting Co. Inc. Construction is expected to finish by 2026, cutting travel times between Kraków and Nowy Sącz from three hours to just one hour. Trains will travel through the tunnel at speeds of up to 160 km/h (99 mph). 🚄 Poland's deputy infrastructure minister, Piotr Malepszak, emphasized that the modernization program, set to be complete by 2026, is much needed as the majority of the current rail infrastructure was built nearly 150 years ago. Funding for the project, as well as other railway upgrades, will come from the National Reconstruction Plan (KPO), which is part of the EU's post-pandemic recovery fund. 💼 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eWbRmfAU #railtunnel #poland #enablingfuturemobility ___ 👍 Like if you find value, re-post ♻️, and follow for more inspiration, interesting rail, and innovation insights.

Building bridges: The U.S. could learn a lot from Canada’s approach to transit-oriented development. The U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act marks a significant step forward, allocating funds toward enhancing public transit, rail systems, clean energy, and electric vehicle infrastructure. These investments are vital to the future prosperity of the nation, and if deployed in the right way, they could also help build healthier communities. Explore several examples in Canada that illustrate how transportation projects can be developed with urban design tactics and a mix of uses to improve connectivity, social equity, sustainability, and resilience: https://ow.ly/N9rL50QQnEb #inspirationilluminated #PWinsights #designinsights
