A rail system 10 comprises a rail support arrangement 100, formed of a slab 110, to which rails 190 and/or other track elements may be coupled. A plurality of rail supports 130 are embedded in one or more primary transverse grooves 120 which extend transversely across the slab. Each rail support includes projections 135,136 that engage with a rail fastening system 160n engaged in the primary transverse groove, in order to secure a rail or other track element to the rail support and prevent movement perpendicular to the groove. The rail fastening system may comprise one or more bolts 161 that cooperate with nuts (162, fig 2) together with a lateral blocker 262 and a fastener 264. The system enables transverse adjustment of the rail position in relation to the slab. There may be two primary transverse grooves of different lengths. There may be provided further supporting transverse grooves into which the primary transverse groves are inset.
