Depth?

[edit]

The article says this would have been the "deepest underground train station in the world", but does not say how deep? Can someone who knows put this information into the article? Beorhtwulf (talk) 18:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears this has now been addressed: 800m. Beorhtwulf (talk) 13:44, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Waive temporarily"?

[edit]

> On 16 May 2012, the Federal Council announced to waive temporarily the Porta Alpina.

What does that mean? "Waive" usually means to give up a right of some kind. – AndyFielding (talk) 09:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poor translation, the project was suspended indefinitely (i.e., canceled without offending local political sensibilities).  Sandstein  09:48, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
