I had a small panic then, this obviously doesn't affect the eurostar over nighter :)

You know what I quite fancy a trip on the train if I go to LGb next year, St Pancras to Annecy, I like that Snow carbon site bandit.

You can still get an overnight sleeper train, but not direct from London. You get the normal Eurostar to Paris, or whatever, and then catch one of the slow French sleeper trains to wherever you're going, like Moutiers for example. And then the same in reverse, coming back. We met a French family in Moutiers train station at Feb half-term, who were doing that.

I am all in favour of more people going by train. I went to a business conference/workshop on climate change on Wednesday, and according to them things are looking grim now. Apparently if we all continue as we are now we will need another 2 planets to supply our needs (anyone got a spare planet or two?).

Plus, I prefer going on the train anyway :D

Ian, I think there might be a nasty bang if we tried that :lol: :lol:

Actually, we are seriously being told (and paid) to alter our farming methods to try to reduce greenhouse gases (for example, by blocking up field drains to increase the peat bogs, which are very effective carbon sinks, etc.).

We could all go vegan and plant trees all over the uplands - no need for cows, sheep, or cattle then :D
