Switzerland has opened up the world’s biggest railway tunnel, 17 years and £8bn after it committed to break the record.
It held a celebration for the completion of the 35-mile Gotthard Base Tunnel, which runs through the Alps. Crowds gathered to celebrate the tunnel’s record-breaking completion in an event that was used to praise the achievements of Europe amid fears of nationalism and increasing distrust of other countries.
European leaders, Angela Merkel, Matteo Renzi and François Hollande joined Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann for a ride in first class through the tunnel.
“The new tunnel fits into the European railway freight corridor, which links Rotterdam and Genoa� – key ports in the Netherlands and Italy, said Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann. “Aside from saving time, more merchandise can be carried through the Alps.�
Angela Merkel said it was a “wonderful feeling� to be on the train. Though “more than 2,000 metres of rocks� were above, she said she felt a “feeling of security, because I believe in the security of the Swiss civil engineers.� She congratulated the punctual Swiss and noted how costs were kept within targets.

At the 2004 Olympics in Greece, the opening ceremonies and following entertainments were similar. Supposedly it all represented the Greek gods. A brief part of it can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoJKHmkb0g4 but there were hours more of these kinds of performances. I saw the videos in 2004 through some of the Greek govt’s film crew there. The govt didn’t like something about the filming, not sure what, and it may not have all been made public. I haven’t searched the net to find out.
