Read somewhere that trains are the most environmentally friendly form of transport, but the figures didn't give any indication of how full the train had to be to achieve this. Better per passenger than car or plane.
Shame the UK network is sh17e then isn't it
Beeching saw to that.
I'd use the train for work if it cost a tenner a week and it set off when I was ready to go!
The car or bike have fixed costs that rack up even if they don't get used for work, so I might as well make some use of them. Maybe thats why pay per mile is gonna finally kill off use of the roads, the (variable) costs are more directly related to how many miles ya do.
At the mo' the fixed stuff like insurance, road tax, MOT, and that great umentionable depreciation make a fuel costs (the variable cost) seem cheap to me??
Well impressed by the Swiss train system, well integrated with air and bus and runs like clockwork.
Two Jags integrated transport policy just didn't happen, another opportunity lost.
Ray.
