GREENPEACE called on European governments today to boost train travel as an alternative to polluting short-haul flights.
In a study by OBC Europa, published ahead of the global Cop26 summit that opens in Glasgow on Sunday, the charity found that 34 per cent of the 150 busiest short-haul flights have rail alternatives that emit a fraction of the carbon dioxide.
Routes including Madrid-Barcelona, Frankfurt-Berlin and Brussels-Amsterdam could be covered by train in two to four hours, the study said.
