Every Last Station We got rid of our car last year as we barely used it. Regularly go abroad, around the UK and our local area, all easy by public transport or walking. This was today’s view from metro train in Oslo!
Thank you Rishi Sunak for taking the sleeper train to Cornwall instead of your helicopter. We hope you had a sound night's sleep.
Can you now please invest in an affordable, reliable rail service, so that trains become the default choice for travellers?

Yesterday we spent Bank Holiday afternoon at St Pancras, thanking people for not flying as they got off the Eurostar.
Taking the train saves 96% on your emissions – from London to Paris and back is 108kg by air and just 4kg by rail 🚄 #TrainsNotPlanes
