San Francisco's BART system is overhauling its rolling stock for the first time since it launched in 1972. Up to 1,000 new cars will be introduced between 2017 and 2023 as the original cars are phased out. Abi Millar finds out how these new railcars are being designed to meet today's transport needs, and examine how real-world testing is informing the final product.

With many UK rail fares rising well beyond inflation since privatisation in 1993, high customer costs risk damaging rail travel's value proposition as an alternative to the road. Why hasn't private sector competition brought lower fares as some might have expected, and does nationalisation offer the prospect of a clearer and more reasonable fare system?

Train delays consistently rank high on the list of rail travellers' main bugbears and, according to their own figures, in the UK some 60% of delays can be attributed to Network Rail. Contributing to this unhappy statistic are factors including infrastructure faults, trespass, vandalism and cable theft - but arguably the most significant, and potentially the most costly, is the weather.

Supplying power to offshore platforms from land-based plants could have a major impact on the industry's carbon emissions. Norway is the world leader in the laying of subsea cables to power offshore facilities, but a recent disagreement over the electrification of the Utsira High region has sparked a new debate over how and where to make use of this promising technology.
