I assume this article was originally written for a British Newspaper. Obviously this project is way more important to Japan and Russia than it is to London.
Looking at a map the appeal of the bridge is apparent. If looking to connect to Western Europe , perhaps a new more northerly route than the Trans Siberian may become feasible. Particularly if new land becomes viable in the north with Global warming. A straight line northerly route would be around 9000 k.m Japan to London

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
