This is a very worrying trend with some airlines emitting more than ever before.

We're calling for:
⛽A tax on plane fuel
🚆Cheaper rail travel
✈️A super rate of Air Passenger Duty for private jets

To keep rail competitive with flying we think the booking window should be less restrictive, with the best price tickets available more than 12 weeks in advance.

Your plans shouldn't be STUCK because you can't book train tickets👇

New research by Rail Delivery Group shows rail is up to 17 times greener than flying, for business travel across Britain. From city centre to city centre it's often faster and cheaper too. #TrainNotPlane

This #EarthDay , did you know transport is responsible for more carbon emissions than any other sector? 🌎

Shifting the way we travel is down to all of us, but it's also down to Government. We need good, frequent, affordable public transport, and safe routes to walk and cycle.

We're campaigning for greener, better, fairer public transport that integrates seamlessly with walking, wheeling and cycling.

SUVs can...

👎Overhang standard parking spaces
👎Block pavements
👎Hold up buses, increasing journey times
👎Damage roads

Heavier and more dangerous than regular cars, we think SUVs should pay more for the damage they cause.

With leisure travel by rail on the rise, it should be easier to book trains ahead for holidays.

With different operators come different rules, making planning feel nightmarish and flying look attractive.

This needs to change. #LetMeBook

This wonderful blog from Museum of Transport Greater Manchester and Bus Centre of Excellence gives a very short history: buscentreofexcellence.org.uk/blogs-collecti…

'In the UK, many of our towns still have Georgian, Medieval, even Roman streets; not designed with four-wheel-drive in mind. SUVs were designed to cover large distances over difficult terrain, not two miles of West London tarmac.'

Across the UK there a several regional Railcards offering 1/3 off train travel in certain areas.

But the North is lacking.

We want operators in the North to come together and offer a Northern Network Railcard, to address regional inequality and boost northern economies.

Very disappointed in the government’s decision to withdraw funding for local areas to reduce air pollution. This will have a long lasting impact. We’re calling on Robbie Moore MP to restore the funding and commit to protecting the health of the millions who breathe toxic air daily

Peak? Off-peak? Anytime return? Flexi? What does any of it mean and why is it often so inconsistent? 🎫🎫🎫

We're campaigning for rail fares to be better value, simpler and easier to book. Learn more 👇

Every 16 minutes someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads.

#SUVs are *8x more likely* to kill a child than an average passenger car.

Bigger cars come at a cost.

Great piece from Campaign for Better Transport on the dangers of car bloat 👇
