Etihad Rail's first passenger train has made history - with the first service travelling from Fujairah and Abu Dhabi. 

The train arrived 3 minutes early into Mohamed bin Zayed City station in Abu Dhabi. Our reporter Andrew Hosie is there talking to passengers - and we'll also look into the potential popularity of the service.

Plus the Louvre Abu Dhabi has unveiled an ambitious new season of exhibitions - we'll hear what we've got to look forward to.
