Train travel is much greener than flying and can be cheaper and less hassle too. So here are some great reasons for waving good bye to airport queues and taking the train instead.
- You don’t need to arrive at the station a few hours before your journey even starts to check-in.
- If your luggage doesn’t make it on board, you’ve only got yourself to blame.
- The view is rarely obstructed by clouds.
- You can get up and move around whenever you like.
- Keeping your shoes on doesn’t make your feet swell up.
- If you fancy a chat, you can use your mobile phone whenever you like.
- You can check your emails if you want to – it’s not going to affect the train’s controls.
- There’s nothing to declare when you leave (except your love for train travel).
- When you arrive, you’re right in the city centre, with loads of links to wherever you want to go.
By replacing one 400 mile domestic flight with a train journey (e.g. London to Glasgow), you could save 72kg of CO2 – that’s the same amount of CO2 produced by the electricity that powers a lightbulb for 4 years!
