Switzerland has opened the world's longest rail tunnel on land - the 34-kilometre (21-mile) Loetschberg tunnel under the Alps. It will cut the journey time between Germany and Italy by at least a third. It is set to be fully operational in December, and will eventually handle about 42 passenger trains and up to 80 freight trains daily.
