Great post, Jenna! As someone who values both sustainability and convenience, I completely agree that promoting domestic train travel over planes is a win-win solution. Not only does it reduce carbon emissions, but it also offers a more comfortable and less stressful travel experience. I recently tried the train from London to Edinburgh and was pleasantly surprised by the speed and comfort of the journey.
