Rail Upgrade Eurostar, the high-speed train company connecting London with Brussels and Paris, is undergoing an overhaul, rolling out a new fleet of trains by 2015 and broadening its destination network. (CNN)

Dreaming Again Boeing's 787s could be flying again within weeks, a major milestone for the innovative passenger jets that have been grounded since January because of battery problems. (New York Times)

What's German for 'Canceled'? … Lufthansa, the popular German carrier, has canceled most Monday flights — all but 32 out of over 1,700 — because of a staff strike over better pay. (BBC)
