The train is the most environmentally friendly way of travelling long distances in the UK.

Recent research by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) shows that rail continues to be one of the most carbon-friendly forms of transport, and which emits approximately half the carbon dioxide per passenger kilometre of cars and a quarter that of domestic air.
