The Copenhagen metropolitan railway is also benefitting from an expansion programme. Pre- sently, works are underwy on the extension of Cityringen, which once completed, will mean the entire system features a total length of 43 kilo- metres and more than 40 stations. Cityringen Metro is a 15.5 kilometre underground circular line that is built on two branches, subway M3 and M4, connected to Kongens Nytorv and Frederiksberg stations. With an estimated cost of 21.300 billion Danish crowns (DKK) (2.836 bi- llion euros), the project includes the construction of 17 stations.

including transport, where infrastruc- ture standards are particularly high. A level that wants to be given a boost in the coming years with the imple- mentation of the advantages of new technological advancements. In the coming years, a substantial increase of inhabitants is expected, which will mean that there will be more than six million people in 2030, a figure that will increase to seven million in 2060. It is estimated that this growth will go hand in hand with a greater volume of passenger and freight transport that will continue until 2050. In this context, within all means of trans- port, the railway will take on a special role as the backbone of mobility.

Rail network The current network has 4,208 kilo- metres of track, of which 2,459 are electrified at 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC; also it features 269 kilometres of double track and 69 for high speed rail. The train is a growing means of transport that, in the last year, trans- ported 56,827 pas- sengers

The Welsh Government wants rail connections to have been completely transformed and become a means of modern, fast transport with efficient routes within five years. To this end, a massive investment programme has been launched with which the entire network will be revi- talised.
