Huge '£13bn plan' for 650-mile high-speed rail line between Europe and Africa
A high-speed rail link between the two continents may be back on, as leaders from both countries plan the major infrastructure project.
Europe and Africa may be poised to be linked like never before, with a major new rail project connecting Spain, Portugal and Morocco rumoured to be on the cards before the 2030 World Cup - but time is running out.
The idea of joining Spain and North Africa by rail has been a discussion point for decades, but now with the global football tournament taking place in the two countries, as well as four others, the infrastructure plan has been revived.
