Europe's best railway station that's one of world's busiest is getting £1bn revamp – and could launch direct route to UK
Construction is likely to start by 2030 ON TRACK Europe's best railway station that's one of world's busiest is getting £1bn revamp – and could launch direct route to UK Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EUROPE'S best railway station is set to receive a £1billion upgrade with the possibility of a direct route on the cards. Plans to expand one of Europe's busiest train stations have been revealed and include a new track and second tunnel, as the prospect of a direct link to London grows more likely. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The major European station is set to receive a huge upgrade Credit: Getty 6 This upgrade will increase the station's capacity by 50 per cent Credit: Getty Major station set for huge upgrade This expansion is estimated to cost over £1bn with construction likely to commence in the latter half of the 2020s. These upgrades will increase the station's current capacity by a staggering 50 per cent. Plans were publicly displayed on May 14 and have since been approved as Zürich Stadelhofen station braces for an upgrade. Commissioned by the Swiss Federal Government, the Swiss Federal Railways (SSB) aims to address a major bottleneck in the Zürich S-Bahn system, Railway Pro reports. SSB intends to achieve this through the station's expansion, as the current three-track layout already operates at full capacity. Plans for direct route to London This comes after SSB revealed hopes to create a direct line to London earlier this year. According to Swiss info, the prospect of a direct high-speed rail link is growing more likely, but Switzerland needs to make adaptations to its stations before this can happen. This new expansion could be a step in the right direction as the proposed upgrade of one of the world's busiest stations will enable more frequent services and improve connectivity. One Brit told Swiss Info: "We feel so disconnected after Brexit. This kind of direct connection would be incredible." Currently, Brits can travel to five places by direct train with Eurostar -Paris, Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Picturesque English town is getting new £27m train line for first time in 60 years – & will cut journey times by an hour But new plans have suggested routes from the UK to seven other cities in Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy. Yann Leriche, the chief executive of Getlink, said: "We are keen to drive forward attractive opportunities for low-carbon [travel] with a range of new destinations in Germany, Switzerland and France. A spokesperson for London St Pancras Highspeed added: "Many European cities could be reached directly by train in under six hours which we believe is really competitive with short-haul air travel." However, the plans are rather ambitious, with no set time frame for when these could launch. Key upgrades to major Zürich station With approximately 80,000 daily passengers and 770 train movements, Zürich Stadelhofen is the third-busiest station in the city and the tenth-busiest in Switzerland. The proposed upgrade will enable more frequent services and support the implementation of a 15-minute base frequency across the network. According to Railway Pro, these are the key upgrades to the station : The construction of a fourth track on the hillside of the station, aligned with the current shopping level Connection of the new track to existing tunnels A new single-track Riesbach Tunnel towards Zürich Tiefenbrunnen Enhanced station access Sun Travel's favourite train journeys in the world Sun Travel's journalists have taken their fare share of train journeys on their travels and here they share their most memorable rail experiences. Davos to Geneva, Switzerland "After a ski holiday in Davos, I took the scenic train back to Geneva Airport. The snow-covered mountains and tiny alpine villages that we passed were so beautiful that it felt like a moving picture was playing beyond the glass." - Caroline McGuire Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen "Nothing quite beats the Shinkansen bullet train, one of the fastest in the world. It hardly feels like you're whizzing along at speed until you look outside and see the trees a green blur. Make sure to book seat D or E too - as you'll have the best view of Mount Fuji along the way." Kara Godfrey London to Paris by Eurostar "Those who have never travelled on the Eurostar may wonder what's so special about a seemingly ordinary train that takes you across the channel. You won't have to waste a moment and can tick off all the top attractions from the Louvre to the Champs-Élysées which are both less than five kilometres from the Gare du Nord." - Sophie Swietochowski Glasgow to Fort William by Scotrail "From mountain landscapes and serene lochs to the wistful moors, I spent my three-hour journey from Glasgow to Fort William gazing out the window. Sit on the left-hand side of the train for the best views overlooking Loch Lomond." - Hope Brotherton Beijing to Ulaanbatar "The Trans-Mongolian Express is truly a train journey like no other. It starts amid the chaos of central Beijing before the city's high-rises give way to crumbling ancient villages and eventually the vast vacant plains of Mongolia, via the Gobi desert. The deep orange sunset seen in the middle of the desert is among the best I've witnessed anywhere." - Ryan Gray 6 The Swiss station opened its doors for the first time in 1894 Credit: Getty 6 Stadelhofen is currently the third largest station in Zurich Credit: Getty 6 Work is expected to start by 2030 Credit: Getty

'A city for strolling': The overlooked Spanish gem with £29 return flights
Spain is beloved by UK travellers, but us Brits have a habit of sticking to what we know: beelining for popular hotspots like the Balearics, Canaries, or one of the Costas. These destinations are popular for a reason, but they're also feeling the weight of overtourism. In Palma, Mallorca's capital, guided walking tours have been limited to 20 people. Gran Canaria has introduced a list of banned beach items along with a £2,500 fine. And in Malaga, short-term rentals have been restricted in 43 districts. As Spain's most popular locations move towards more sustainable tourism models, Metro is here to shine a light on lesser-known places actively seeking visitors. One of them is A Coruña, a city for strolling and enjoying. Complete with rich political history, a charming medieval old town and a sweeping coastline, this city in the northwest Galicia region has all the ingredients for a perfect holiday. Plus, getting there won't break the bank. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. On Friday, September 9 to 26, Metro found return flights from London Gatwick for £29 with Vueling. Temperatures average around 23°C. On Reddit, travellers describe A Coruña as 'mellow' and 'relaxed.' One even called it one of the 'coolest places in Spain during the summer', with 'good vibes, great food, and friendly people.' A Coruña is home to the world's oldest functioning Roman lighthouse, known as the Tower of Hercules. Since the 1st century AD, it has served as the entrance to La Coruña harbour. It's so impressive that it's been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb the tower's 234 steps for panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Or, check out the on-site sculpture park, which features an Islamic cemetery and rock carvings from the Iron Age. General admission to the lighthouse costs €3 (£2.61), but on Mondays, it's free. There's also the historic Castle of San Anton, a Renaissance building that's now a museum. The 16th-century fortress exhibits antique weaponry and other archaeological artefacts. Entry costs €2 (£1.74). In the medieval Old Town, you'll find narrow alleyways, elaborate churches and stately houses. But perhaps the main attraction is the Plaza de María Pita, named after a local heroine, and home to a 10-metre bronze monument of the Galician legend. During the 16th century, she warned the town of an invasion by Sir Francis Drake and the English Armada. Since then, she's become a symbol of resistance, strength and bravery. Galicians hold María Pita in such high esteem that annual celebrations are held in her honour. This year, festivities will take place from August 1 to September 1, comprising cultural events, concerts, fairs and historical re-enactments. And, as A Coruña is the home of Estrella Galicia beer, the brewery also fills the city with a week of concerts during the month. For those who enjoy a (responsible) tipple, a visit to the brewery is a must. Here, you can experience a guided tour of the Estrella Galicia Museum and even taste the products. A two-hour 30-minute session costs £29. Let's not forget that A Coruña is also a coastal city, and combines six urban beaches and several coves. The main beach is Praia de Riazor: calm waters and wide stretches of sand juxtapose a lively promenade. You're spoiled for choice with beach bars, cafes and restaurants, perfect for an afternoon espresso or a traditional tapas lunch. Artabria, a restaurant located a few minutes from the promenade, has even been featured in the Michelin Guide. It serves traditional dishes with a creative touch, from rice with red shrimp to homemade seafood croquettes with straw potatoes. There's also a takeaway menu if you fancy lunch on the beach. However, it's not as cheap as more casual tapas places. A burrata and organic tomato salad is €12 (£10.43), while suckling lamb chops cost €19 (£16.51). But hey, it's always nice to treat yourself. If you're after something with street-food vibes, head to Mercado de San Agustín, the local market that sells everything from seafood to fresh fruit and veg. Other notable beaches worth checking out include Riazor and Playa del Orzán, the latter of which is a popular place to surf and play volleyball. As well as being the ideal mix of beach and culture, A Coruña is a good choice for a twin-city break. Not only is it a 50-minute drive to Santiago de Compostela, Galicia's capital, but you're also on Portugal's doorstep. The Portuguese city of Braga is around two and a half hours drive. From there, it's a 45-minute trip to Porto, Portugal's second-largest city. More Trending Guimaraes is another standout day trip destination. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was actually the country's original capital, and is just under three hours from A Coruña. Metro recently spotlighted this hidden gem, which was named one of 'the most beautiful small towns in Europe' by CN Traveller. You can read the full guide to Guimaraes here.

In Scotland, 71% say nature supports their mental health, and 58% are drawn to fresh air and clean environments. Nearly 40% can't relax unless near water, and 35% are choosing trips near lakes, hot springs, or the sea. To help, Icelandair has highlighted 10 secluded UK wild swimming spots for cooling off this summer.

Top 10 hidden wild swimming spots in the UK New research from Icelandair reveals that half of Brits (50%) now prioritise rest and relaxation when booking holidays, with almost 7 in 10 (68%) saying they feel much more mentally refreshed after spending time in nature than in the city. A survey of 2,000 people across the UK highlights the nation's strong connection to nature, with two-thirds (66%) saying they feel the urge to visit green spaces every four weeks, and almost as many (65%) admitting they're craving the outdoors in general. Being close to water is also key, as 4 in 10 (40%) say they can't relax unless they're near it. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Women Swimming For those seeking peace away from the crowds — from mountain lakes to quiet countryside rivers — Icelandair has uncovered 10 of the UK's most secluded wild swimming spots, each with surprisingly low monthly Google search volumes. 1. Llyn Gaslyn, Snowdonia, Wales Tucked away beneath the summit of Snowdon, with 0 monthly searches Completely off the radar — with no Google searches or TripAdvisor reviews — Llyn Gaslyn is a truly untouched mountain lake ideal for those seeking solitude in nature. Accessed via the Miners' Track, it offers a bracingly cold but incredibly refreshing dip at around 600m above sea level. Loch an Eilein 2. Loch an Eilein, Cairngorms, Scotland Just 40 monthly searches despite its fairytale setting Set within the ancient pine forests of the Cairngorms National Park and overlooked by the ruins of a 13th-century castle, Loch an Eilein is a serene haven. Surrounded by nature and with few crowds, its low visibility online makes it a well-kept secret for Scottish wild swimmers. Just pack a wetsuit — summer temperatures here rarely rise above 12 °C. 3. Lough Shannagh, Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland A tranquil upland lake with 480 monthly searches Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A peaceful escape high in the Mournes, Lough Shannagh is a glacial lake often overlooked in favour of lower, more accessible bodies of water. The reward for the hike? Still waters, mountain views, and total calm — ideal for mindfulness and digital detoxing. It's a fantastic stepping stone to more dramatic geothermal dips abroad. 4. River Lugg, Herefordshire, England Flowing gently through hidden countryside with 720 monthly searches One of England's lesser-known rivers, the River Lugg meanders through scenic, unspoiled landscapes, offering a cooling escape in the heart of the countryside. Easy to access yet far from tourist routes, it's a great spot for a low-effort wild swim, surrounded by birdsong, meadows, and zero stress. 5. Llyn Llydaw, Snowdon, Wales Wales' high-altitude gem with 880 monthly searches Sitting on the flanks of Mount Snowdon, Llyn Llydaw is one of Wales' most picturesque mountain lakes — and yet still relatively undiscovered. The water here stays chilly even in July, but its remoteness and clear alpine views make it worth the plunge. 5. River Waveney, Suffolk, England A peaceful border river with 880 monthly searches Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Straddling the Norfolk-Suffolk border, the River Waveney offers gentle, meandering swims through reed beds, meadows and wildlife-rich countryside. Known to locals but still far from tourist-heavy areas, it's ideal for those looking to cool off without the chaos of busy lidos or packed beaches. With calm currents and idyllic picnic spots, it's the perfect family-friendly wild swim. Doctor reveals lesser-known health benefits of wild swimming Icelandair spoke exclusively with Dr Hana Patel, UK based GP, who has outlined 5 lesser-known health benefits of wild swimming: 1. Activation of Brown Fat Cold water activates brown adipose tissue, a type of fat that burns calories to keep you warm. Unlike white fat, brown fat may help regulate body weight and improve metabolic health, making wild swims a natural metabolic booster. 2. Hormetic Stress Adaptation Wild swimming is a form of hormesis — a mild stressor that strengthens the body's response to bigger stress. Just like lifting weights or fasting, it challenges your system to adapt, making you more resilient over time, both physically and mentally. 3. Improved Sleep Quality Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After a wild swim, the body tends to cool down and regulate circadian rhythms, promoting deeper sleep. Many regular cold-water swimmers report falling asleep faster and waking up feeling more refreshed. 4. Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage The contraction and relaxation of muscles in cold water — combined with hydrostatic pressure — stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to flush out toxins and reduce swelling or bloating. 5. Increased Skin Circulation & Glow Cold water boosts skin blood flow, leading to a healthy flush and improved skin tone. Some swimmers also report clearer skin, potentially due to reduced inflammation and natural exfoliation from mineral-rich waters.
