Leipzig rail tunnel opens ten years late costing €1 billion

New railway tunnel in Leipzig is officially opened today by Sachsen premier, Tillich.

It has much in common with the Dublin tunnel. Instead of costing  €500,000 it cost €1 billion and instead of taking five years to build, they spent 10 years building the new north south four kilometre Leipzig tunnel.
