Therefore, fastening systems with high dynamic elasticity are indispensable for achieving a low maintenance track with high availability. Further information in the next edition.

TAKING THE LEAD FROM THE DUTCH Prime Minister Tony Blair opened the £1,900 million first section of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link on 16 September 2003 amid much back slapping. Discounting the Channel Tunnel itself, the 69 km section is the first major UK rail project to be completed in over a century and the first high-speed rail line ever in the UK. Section 2 is due for completion in 2007, involving 24 km of tunnelling from north Kent to St Pancras in London. There is much to celebrate. It is a Public Private Partnership scheme that came in on time and on budget that permits speeds of up to 186 mph. It cuts journey times by 20 minutes and increases reliability, plus 8000 or so jobs were created during construction. Some aspects are innovative, like the use of TVM 430 signalling system used on French TGV trains for automatic train protection.
