Plans for new 19-hour European sleeper train with 50 stops unveiled
Leo Express has unveiled plans for a sleeper service that would call at stations including Brussels, Cologne, Hanover, Dresden, and Prague, running from Ostend in Belgium with the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, by next year A night train could connect Ostend in Belgium with the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, by next year. Leo Express has unveiled plans for a sleeper service that would call at stations including Brussels, Cologne, Hanover, Dresden, and Prague. The Czech-based subsidiary of the Spanish national operator, Renfe, wants to run the service down the 750-mile route from December 2026. Over the course of 19 hours, passengers would be taken from the North Sea coast to the Danube at an average speed of 39 mph. While this might not seem overly fast, UK passengers will be able to travel out from London St Pancras in the evening, hop on the train at Brussels Midi, and arrive in Bratislava at 2:18 p.m. the following day, The Independent reports. The news comes after The Mirror compared taking the train to Spain with going via plane. 'I lost my mind taking the train to Spain - there are three problems' In total, the rolling stock will be able to carry 450 passengers, with some compartments housing six bunks—presumably rendering the overnight ticket price fairly reasonable. Another big draw of the service will be the stations the train stops in, which include Bruges and Ghent in Belgium, plus Aachen and Dresden in Germany. It is likely to be popular with those concerned about the environment, as travelling by train is typically much greener than travelling by plane. To turn the plans into a reality, Leo Express will need to gain permission and train paths from rail authorities in Belgium, France, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The company will also be competing with budget airfares that link the likes of Brussels and Bratislava for £16. The service is not the only one that could be coming to Europe in the coming years. A series of massive rail projects is currently underway, with train travel in Europe likely to look very different in less than ten years from how it does today. One of them will link Hamburg and Copenhagen. The vast undersea tunnel is being built and will carry two rail lines and a pair of two-lane highways under the Baltic Sea. Construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel has started on the shores of the Baltic Sea, in the south of Denmark. Once finished it will link the country and Germany. The project will be the world's longest road and rail tunnel, and the world's longest immersed tunnel, stretching 11.2 miles. The tunnel will enable both freight and commuter traffic, reducing carbon emissions, freeing up capacity on the roads and railways, and moving freight from lorries to more environmentally friendly electric trains. Another will go between Budapest and Belgrade. It is currently possible to travel between these two great cities on the Danube, but it takes a while and three changes. Next year that will change when a high-speed line built with Chinese backing gets going. The difference in effort required as well as the length of journey will be significant. Passengers will be whisked between the two cities in just two hours and 40 minutes instead of seven.

DWP State Pension warning as future payment age suggested to Brits
The State Pension age is already set to rise in the coming years, but a pensions expert has warned that it may need to increase even further in order to remain sustainable The State Pension age is set to rise from next year, currently standing at 66 for both men and women. The age will gradually increase to 67 between 2026 and 2028 for those born after April 1960. The transition process is then expected to be completed for everyone by March 2028. The planned change to the official age of retirement has been in legislation since 2014, with a further rise from 67 to 68, which is set to be implemented between 2044 and 2046. A further rise to 68 is expected to be brought forward from 2046. An industry expert has warned that the UK state pension age may need to rise to 80 without significant reforms, as the current system is becoming unaffordable. In other related news, state pensioners could lose DWP payments after 'unfair' £10,000 rule. The Independent reports The Office for Budget Responsibility projects the annual cost of the state pension could reach £200bn by 2073, representing 7.7-8.4% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) by the 2070s, as shown in a new report. Pensions expert Jack Carmichael suggests the cost could be even higher than official projections, potentially necessitating a state pension age of 80 to maintain affordability. Mr Carmichael estimated the increase could be as much as £8bn a year higher, reports the Liverpool Echo. A report from last month warned that the combination of an ageing population and the triple lock could significantly hike long-term costs. Mr Carmichael stated that the model still underestimates the risk of increasing life expectancy, and both projections would necessitate either a rise in the state pension age or National Insurance. The State Pension is a regular payment from the government that most people can claim when they reach State Pension age. The amount received varies for everyone and depends on your National Insurance record. READ MORE: DWP to pay out extra £904 to disabled individuals per month – see if you qualify The UK Government has announced a review of the state pension, coinciding with the revival of the landmark Pensions Commission. This will examine: "Why tomorrow's pensioners are on track to be poorer than today's and make recommendations for change." There is growing concern that future retirees will face lower incomes than those retiring today. The Government is obligated to conduct a review into the state pension age, currently 66, every six years. The last one concluded in 2023. Many working-age adults (45%) are not saving anything at all into a pension, with lower earners, the self-employed and some ethnic minorities particularly at risk. The relaunched Commission will investigate the complex barriers preventing people from saving enough for retirement, with its final report due in 2027. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall stated: "People deserve to know that they will have a decent income in retirement – with all the security, dignity and freedom that brings. But the truth is, that is not the reality facing many people, especially if you're low paid, or self-employed." "The Pensions Commission laid the groundwork, and now, two decades later, we are reviving it to tackle the barriers that stop too many saving in the first place." In addition to the Commission, the Government has also initiated the State Pension Age Review as mandated by law, commissioning two independent reports for the Government to consider when determining the State Pension age for future decades.

'Ghost' £240million new airport with one just passenger flight a week
The New Gwadar International Airport in Pakistan was billed as a symbol of progress and connectivity, with a designed capacity of 400,000 passengers per year With more than $240 million pumped into it and designed to handle 400,000 passengers annually, Pakistan's priciest and newest airport launched in 2024 on the edges of Gwadar - a seaside city in the south-western province of Balochistan. Constructed with substantial Chinese investment as part of the enormous China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the New Gwadar International Airport was conceived as an emblem of advancement and global connectivity. A swift look at aviation tracker Flightradar24 reveals a different tale. Typically, just one flight takes off and lands at the airport weekly, both travelling to and from Karachi. That's a world away from the thriving international gateway pledged during its development. Positioned on the Arabian Sea, Gwadar's fresh airport serves as the cornerstone of China's multi-billion-pound scheme to connect its western province of Xinjiang to warm-water harbours, reports the Express. Yet as international relations expert Azeem Khalid told The Independent: "This airport is not for Pakistan or Gwadar. "It is for China, so they can have secure access for their citizens to Gwadar and Balochistan." It comes as it was revealed last month one of the UK's abandoned airports would re-open with cheap flights to holiday hotspots. Manston Airport in Kent saw its last flight for Amsterdam leave on April 9, 2014 and since then its been used as a lorry park. Currently undergoing a major refurbishment, the revived airport is slated to reopen in 2028. The grand opening ceremony was a subdued event. Security concerns meant Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chinese Premier Li Qiang participated virtually, and the maiden flight was shut to both press and public. Security stays stringent - watchtowers, checkpoints and armed patrols are familiar sights throughout the city. Despite its strategic significance, Gwadar itself presents a contrasting reality. The city has fewer than 90,000 residents and isn't connected to Pakistan's national electricity grid - locals rely on solar panels or imported Iranian energy. The province of Balochistan remains one of the poorest regions in Pakistan. Numerous locals claim progress has bypassed them entirely. There are persistent shortages of drinking water and employment prospects have virtually vanished since Gwadar's era as an Omani port town decades ago. Currently, everyday existence is interrupted by identity checks and limited movement as officials increase security to safeguard Chinese workers and investments. Streets are regularly shut for VIP convoys whilst intelligence operatives monitor journalists closely. The wave of Chinese investment has not resulted in local employment or enhanced living standards. Abdul Ghafoor Hoth, district president of the Balochistan Awami Party, said that not a single resident of Gwadar was hired at the new airport - not even as a watchman. "Forget the other jobs, how many Baloch people are at this port that was built for CPEC," he told The Independent. Despite government claims CPEC has created around 2,000 jobs locally, it remains unclear if these roles benefit Baloch residents or outsiders brought in from other parts of Pakistan. The CPEC corridor has fuelled decades-long insurgency in resource-rich Balochistan. Separatist factions challenge what they perceive as exploitation by Islamabad at their cost and have launched violent assaults targeting both Pakistani troops and Chinese personnel. Fears over security pushed back the airport's opening ceremony, with officials worried that surrounding peaks could offer sanctuary for extremists. Following a government offensive in 2014 that temporarily curbed bloodshed, assaults have surged once more after a Taliban truce crumbled in late 2022. Residents claim that voicing dissent brings danger of arrest or something far worse - enforced disappearances continue to be a stark truth, say campaigners. Foreign affairs analyst Khalid captures community anger: "The Pakistani government is not willing to give anything to the Baloch people, and the Baloch are not willing to take anything from the government." What emerges is an 'economy of appearances' where striking new infrastructure conceals profound marginalisation of everyday citizens.
