Travelling across Europe should be easy, fast, and affordable. That’s why the Commission has adopted a set of new proposals to accelerate the roll-out of Europe’s high-speed rail network.
The new high-speed rail action plan aims to cut journey times and make rail a more attractive alternative to short-haul flights or long car journeys. With trains reaching speeds of 200 km/h and above, travel time between EU capitals will drop significantly.

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.
