When the Marmaray Tunnel opens it will, in theory, allow comfortable rail passage from Aberdeen, Scotland, to Tehran, Iran, without stepping off a train platform (journey time will be six days). The railway is part of a wider 47-mile project that will link Istanbul’s suburbs and airports, drastically reducing the number of vehicles on the road. At peak times up to 75,000 commuters will be shuttled from Europe to Asia every hour.
