Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>While there are many problems to overcome in the EU Commission's aspiration to make high-speed rial travel across Europe competitive with air travel, the direction of travel (pun intended) must be right; unlike our own Govt. with its support for expansion at Heathrow Airport & its continued difficulty in seeing rail as a public good whose price must be reduced.</p><p>Rail as mass-transport needs to be made a priority, by making it cheap(er) & easily used.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>railways</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/08/high-speed-rail-network-vision-europe-eu-transport" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/world/2025/aug</span><span class="invisible">/08/high-speed-rail-network-vision-europe-eu-transport</span></a></p>

CLondoner92 (New Account)<p>Chiltern <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Railways</span></a> has secured 13 modern Mark 5A <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> to replace its oldest carriages on services between <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>London</span></a> and the West Midlands from spring 2026. The new trains will offer enhanced passenger features including plug sockets, USB ports, upgraded Wi-Fi, digital screens, air conditioning, better storage, and accessible facilities. First Class will also be introduced. The trains will run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a renewable fuel, and include stop-start engine tech to cut emissions. This forms part of Chiltern’s wider 2030 vision to modernise and decarbonise its fleet. The deal was signed with Beacon Rail on 4 August 2025, with phased service starting in early 2026. Additional services are planned for December 2026. Supported by the Department for <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Transport</span></a>, this marks a significant investment in greener, more comfortable journeys and regional growth.<br><a href="https://press.chilternrailways.co.uk/news/chiltern-railways-secures-modern-trains-to-transform-customer-journeys" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">press.chilternrailways.co.uk/n</span><span class="invisible">ews/chiltern-railways-secures-modern-trains-to-transform-customer-journeys</span></a></p>
