LONDON (Reuters) - A 400 km per hour railway will cost 30 billion pounds to build over more than a decade from 2017, the government said on Thursday, outlining plans to finally get Britain up to speed with Europe. Britain only has about 110 km of high-speed railway linking London to a underwater tunnel to mainland Europe where France, Germany, Spain and Italy all have much bigger, fast networks.
