Air Travel Is Losing To Rail
There are some interesting statistics, which show that people are using trains more instead of air travel on popular domestic air routes.
As an example in 2006, 50% of passengers travelling between London and Newcastle used trains, whereas in 2010 it was 64%. Overall on the ten busiest routes the market share has increased from 29% to 44%.
I think this is good news, as trains emit a lot less carbon dioxide for the journey.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
