International rail travel is what this website is all about. And we all know that rail travel is the most ‘green’ form of transport, "even if not the cheapest" most people will add.

The statement above might be true, however responsible travel should become part of everybody lives, especially if we wish that our children and the children of our children still being able to travel in future, and enjoy this wonderful planet we all live on.

One example? A traveller going to Paris from London on Eurostar generates 10 times less CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) than a person travelling on the same route by air! If you think in proportion, of how many people is travelling around Europe on the so-called ‘cheap airlines’ you start to get the picture. The question we should ask ourselves every time we travel is “Can we make the same journey by rail?” If the answer is yes, we should really start thinking of planning it, RailChoice can help in doing exactly this and you will be amazed on how many good offers are out there on rail travel too!

You will have a clear conscience during your trip, enjoy the scenery (which you cannot do travelling on a plane), avoid the hassle of an airport (ever increasing these days of more double checking, triple screening and never ending queues), travel on a comfortable seat even in 2^nd class (most of us are now aware of the impossible size of the seats on a particular airline travelling to many European destinations ‘on the cheap’ these days), and finally arrive much more relaxed to your final destination – no matter if you travelled for business or for pleasure.

Rail travel causes less air pollution, and I would suggest reading the following Fact Sheet about this from ‘Friends of The Earth’.

You can now discover the delights of rail travel in every corner of the world, and be nicer to the world itself! If we want to keep travelling, have a clear conscience and keep enjoying this world we all live in, rail travel is one if the best and positive way of doing so.
