Article 1
About half of flights around the continent are short-haul, with a heavy
cost in carbon emissions. Trains are the answer
As we approach the start of the Cop26 conference in Glasgow, I have
been considering what I can do to help combat the climate crisis. Eat less
meat? Buy an electric car? Swap the old gas boiler for a heat pump? Take
the train instead of a short-haul flight?
All of the above, to be sure. But as someone who has spent much of his
life flying around Europe, the last seems especially pertinent. About half
of all flights in Europe are short-haul, defined by the EU as journeys of
less than 1,500km. One detailed study showed that short flights on selec-
ted routes across Europe can cause up to 19 times the CO2 emissions of
the equivalent train journey. (Nineteen is Zurich to Milan: the shorter the
flight, the greater the excess). Britain’s Campaign for Better Transport
recently staged a “race” from central London to Glasgow city centre. The
train passenger arrived just two minutes later than the person who came
by plane, and the CO2 emissions were an estimated 20kg, compared with
137kg for the flight. But, this being Britain, the train ticket cost twice as
much.
That is not true everywhere. For example, in December I have to get from
Bremen, in north Germany, where I am speaking on a Thursday evening,
to Bavaria, where I have an engagement the following night. Until re-
cently, I would automatically have booked a flight. Now I find that there
is an excellent intercity train connection which gets me from Bremen
to Munich in under six hours. Yes, it takes a little longer than the flight,
which would be just one and a quarter hours – and Lufthansa offers no
fewer than five direct flights that day.
But that does not take into account the car journey to the airport, check-in
and waiting time, and then the long drive into town from Munich’s fara-
way airport. Unlike London to Glasgow, the train is also cheaper: €27.99
at the supersaver price.
Moreover, the train journey will almost certainly be more enjoyable.
None of those traffic jams on the way to the airport. No sweaty striptease
at airport security, and weary standing around waiting for your flight to
be called. No need to cram yourself into a narrow seat, packed into a me-
tal tube filled with pressurised, recycled air. From the train, I will be able
to watch the gradually changing German landscape pass by my window;
to read and write comfortably, with good wifi (although a patchy mobile
signal); to get up, take a stroll and have lunch in the restaurant car. Then
I can step out at journey’s end, straight into central Munich.
I recently came across notes I made at a meeting of the parliamentary
party of the then youthful German Greens in October 1984. Green MPs,
I recorded, would in principle not use domestic flights inside Germany.
“Here we are, protesting against Startbahn West [a new runway at Frank-
furt airport],” said one, “and then we fly from it!” My notes have a tone
of mild amusement, especially when someone confesses: “I do take a
Bundestag-chauffeured car to the pub in the evening!” But now I think
to myself: if only the Greens’ approach had prevailed 40 years ago. Ima-
gine that we had spent the past four decades prioritising European rail
connections over short-haul flights. Today, as the Greens prepare to take
their place in a new German government, you can bet your bottom euro
that airlines are quietly lobbying away, explaining the cost – also in lost
jobs – of too rapidly slashing all those short-haul flights.
Italy shows what can be done and the possible cost. In the past two de-
cades, it has built up an impressive network of comfortable, high-speed
intercity trains. You can do Rome to Milan in two hours and 59 minutes.
The old national airline, Alitalia, however, is no more. (Yes, I know the
story of Alitalia is more complicated – but you get the point.)
In a public opinion poll conducted last year for my research team in Ox-
ford, respondents across the EU27 and the UK were asked: “To help com-
bat climate change, would you support a ban on short flights to destina-
tions that could be reached within 12 hours by train?” Almost two-thirds
(65%) agreed. One reason for the high level of support may be that rela-
tively few Europeans actually do much intra-European flying: 76% said
they fly within Europe once a year or less. It’s the frequent travellers like
me who are the problem. On our project website, we have a map showing
how far you can get from Berlin, Brussels and Paris in a train journey of
up to 12 hours, including transfer time: from Brussels to Barcelona, for
example, or from Paris to Berlin. That 12-hour goal may be overambi-
tious. But a radius of, say, six hours time distance, established as a norm
by individual travellers and employers, is surely not unrealistic.
To move more rapidly from short-haul plane to train we need change on
the demand side (that’s us), the supply side and the regulatory frame-
work. The EU is trying to play some role here. I bet you didn’t know that
2021 is the European Year of Rail. Brussels recently sent a Connecting
Europe Express around the EU, although this rather highlighted some
of the problems, since it needed three different trains, one for the main
European gauge, another for the Iberian gauge, and a third for the Baltic
(ie post-Soviet) gauge in the Baltic states.
At least as important will be train operators, booking agencies and consu-
mer pressure groups. It is still much easier to book flights across Europe
than it is to book train journeys. However, one of the best places to start
is a mildly eccentric website, seat61.com, run by a British train fanatic
called Mark Smith. It tells you where to go online to make your reserva-
tion for almost any trip across Europe, adding some connoisseur’s advice
on the actual trains. For pan-European train bookings you could try rai-
leurope.com and trainline.com, but both have significant geographical
limitations. All too often, you end up having to book on the individual
national rail sites, with the attendant sign-up hassle.
Another positive development would be to revive long-distance overnight
trains. The night train was once part of the great romance of European
travel (brilliantly and amusingly evoked in the Stephen Poliakoff-scrip-
ted film Caught on a Train). There are few of them left. Bring back the
night trains – and make those couchettes more comfortable while we are
about it.
“Let the train take the strain” was a great advertising slogan of the 1980s.
Forty years on, the condition of the planet urgently requires us to do it –
and, by and large, it should also be a pleasure.
