World's tallest train station to open as part of new mega £3.6billion rail route expansion
THE WORLD'S tallest train station is set to be built as part of a £3.6 billion rail route expansion project. Dubai's new Metro Blue Line includes plans for a 74 metre high station - the tallest in the world. 3 3 3 The expansive project is set to create better transport links across the country, helping both residents and tourists navigate the area more easily. It is expected that 200,000 passengers will use the system every day by 2030, rising to 320,000 by 2040. Work is already underway and is set to finish in 2029 - on the 20th anniversary of Dubai's Metro system. It is set to cost around Dh18 billion, equivalent to around £3.6 billion. The new system will feature two routes - one 21km and the other 9km. Perhaps the most impressive part of the new development is the station at Dubai Creek Harbour - set to be the " highest metro station in the world" at 74 metres. The station's architecture will be in-keeping with the rest of Dubai's iconic buildings, with the American architects behind the Burj Khalifa designing the new transport hub. Its exterior is said to be inspired by the shape of a seashell, while its interior reflects themes like heritage, earth, air, fire and water. The design was approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, in June of this year. On Monday June 9, the Sheikh laid the first foundation stone for the "architectural icon". I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash Developer Emaar Properties is set to retain the naming rights of the skyscraper station for at least the first decade. Other stations on the line are expected to be named after brands - a common practice on the Dubai Metro. The Dubai Metro Blue Line will add 14 brand new stations to the city's rail network. It brings the total to 78 stations, with 67 of these serving the Dubai Metro. Each station will include public bus bays, taxi stands, bike areas, electric scooter racks, and disabled parking bays for those with people of determination status. Nine of these stations will be above ground, while five will be underground, although exact plans for which stations will be where are yet to be confirmed. The International City station is set to be the only station to serve multiple lines, with a 44,000 square metre interchange station. In a bid to improve the city's transport links, the government previously announced their plan to have 140 stations by 2040. It will include better connections between Dubai International Airport and nine of the city's key areas, with a travel time from 10 to 25 minutes between these hubs. The new station will join a long list of record-breaking stations around the world. This includes the largest station by number of platforms: Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Containing 44 platforms, the station serves approximately 660 trains carrying 125,000 commuters per day. Another record-breaking station is Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, which is the world's busiest station. Used by an average of 2.7 million people per day, it joined the Guinness World Records in 2022 and officially became the world's busiest station.

Finastra upgrades KTP treasury platform
Finastra, a global leader in financial services software, today announced enhancements to its KTP treasury management software. 0 The new functions enable corporate treasurers to execute front-to-back trades fully within the system, as opposed to needing to access multiple tools, driving greater efficiencies including faster time to market, simpler user experience, as well as error reduction. Eric Aillet, Principal Product Manager at Finastra said, 'In today's complex environment, treasurers need simple solutions to manage day-to-day operations. The updates to our Finastra KTP Corporate Treasury Innovation solution take full advantage of Finastra's advanced technology stack and first-hand feedback from former treasurers, empowering our customers with a system which champions a proactive approach to treasury management.' Treasurers benefit from an end-to-end management solution, removing the need to juggle individual functions from multiple systems (including execution, position keeping, and confirmation matching). Natively integrated with 360T and Finastra CMS, users can configure workflows to automate the processes from deal execution through to confirmation and settlement. The cloud-enabled platform now includes web-based, real-time dashboards, designed to support treasurers day-to-day with a consolidated view of liquidity and financial positions, offering a more intuitive and simpler user experience and providing greater consistency across geographies. Based on a responsive design, the solution is inherently business process-oriented, reducing the learning curve. The dashboard updates also contribute to reliability, providing monitoring tools for error management. For example, with Finastra technology the risk of accidentally inverting the direction of a transaction is dramatically reduced, as is the risk of double entries, inherent when multiple systems are in play. A dashboarding engine delivers an easy-to-configure report engine, integral for customizing decision-making and managerial reports. With compliance also being an important consideration, the KTP platform includes the ability for treasurers to check directly with the front-office to ensure best execution. The enhancement is part of Finastra's ongoing commitment to helping its corporate treasurer customers meet changing market demands.
