The Department for Transport has promised “the biggest overhaul of our railways in a generation, including simplifying fares”.

The new network will use the European railway track width and connect seamlessly with railways across the EU.

Authorities say at least 25 people have been killed after a bomb exploded at a railway station in Pakistan's Balochistan province.

Other more expensive options, including a bored tunnel and re-routing the railway, were considered.

But it is suspected to have been behind other attacks on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year, including in Sweden and in the Czech Republic.
