Rhine-Alpine rail corridor fully operational again from 2 October

On 12 August, the rail corridor near Rastatt, Germany, became disrupted due to a subsidence in a new rail tunnel running under the existing railway line. Since then, international freight traffic on the route has been very much inconvenienced. By deploying additional labour and machinery, the works will be completed five days ahead of schedule. Rail transport will resume normal operations from 2 October.
