Environment Update
From the Telegraph:
Encouraging travellers to switch from cars and airlines to inter-city trains brings no benefits for the environment, new research has concluded.Emphasis added.
Challenging assumptions about railways' green superiority, the study finds that the weight and fuel requirements of trains have increased to the point where rail could become the least energy-efficient form of transport.

"I know this will generate howls of protest, but at present a family of four going by car is about as environmentally friendly as you can get."
