the Kattegat Bridge with connecting high speed railway, able to connect Copenhagen with Aarhus in less than two hours, and complementing the congested and vulnerable Great Belt Bridge. Finland Helsinki–Turku high-speed railway: a proposed rail link between Helsinki and Turku with planned maximum speed of Plans exist for a high-speed connection between Helsinki and Tampere with a travel time of one hour through the planned Lentorata tunnel from Helsinki to Kerava via Helsinki Airport station, and either upgrade the Riihimäki–Tampere railway to high speed standard or build a new parallel line. An eastern high-speed line between Helsinki and Kouvola via the airport and Porvoo is also planned, known as Itärata. Hungary On 28 January 2020, a call for tenders was issued for a detailed feasibility study of the proposed line between Budapest and Cluj-Napoca in Romania. The section within Hungary is expected to accommodate speeds of 250–350 km/h while the Romanian section will have a line speed of 160 km/h. Iceland • An airport rail link is under planning, The train will be called the 'Lava Express', travelling as it does past the famous lava fields of South-West Iceland. The line will be 49 km long, of which 14 km will be underground, towards the Reykjavik end. The average speed of the train will be 180 km/h, with a maximum speed of 250 km/h. However, , the Airport Rail Link's construction has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The date of the start of the construction is currently unconfirmed, and will be decided later. Ireland In 2020 the Irish Government confirmed it will be launching a study into an approximately 500 km high-speed railway from Belfast via Dublin to Cork and Limerick, which could cost around €15 billion. Netherlands The proposed HSL-Oost line was cancelled in 2009. The section of that proposed line between Amsterdam and Utrecht is four-tracked. 2 tracks out of 4 are capable for 200 km/h, but electrification voltage is not enough, the line is planned to be re-electrified to 25 kV AC. Another problem on that section as in more parts in the Netherlands is that the ground isn’t stable enough for higher speed due to peat. Norway The Norwegian government has examined five long-distance high-speed lines radiating out from Oslo to Bergen, Kristiansand/Stavanger, Trondheim, Gothenburg, and Stockholm. A sixth line would be a coastal line between Bergen, Haugesund and Stavanger. At least two
