"The scheme is currently the largest civil engineering project in Europe."
Really? Bigger than the Gotthard Base Tunnel?
Rule 1. PR departments must exaggerate. They probably believe they are

Then they'll double that figure as there are two tracks.
Also see the regular references to the 48 tph train service....
