Green Transport
We're embarking on transformative plans to reduce carbon emissions, enhance our resilience to climate change, and to create lasting value for our colleagues and communities. Our trains are more than just a journey – they connect communities to opportunities and can help to take cars off roads. We are focused on being an integral part of a more sustainable region.
We believe in green public transport – with rail travel being one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel. Even though rail travel accounts for 10% of passenger miles (2019), it is responsible for just 1% of all transport emissions. We want to help reduce climate impacts by encouraging people off the roads onto our services. Operating in a socially and environmentally responsible way is important to us.
Did you know a single train can remove up to 500 cars from our roads?
We’re also proud to work with some fantastic organisations and our recent accreditations are part of our journey to becoming an even better place to work.
