Rail and Boat is a great way to see the world and meet interesting and fun people !
With train travel there is 2 percent of the pollution compared to a car. So 50 times more people can travel with no additional pollution. With boat travel there is just one percent of the pollution caused by air travel. Also rail and boat are socially available to all wheras cars and planes are so expensive only a few people can afford them. Also cars and planes damage the planet so much that we have climate change. So obviously we need government to promote responsible travel by rail and boat (and walking and cycling) and tax properly car drivers for all the damage they cause (pollution, road accidents, road building, car disposal etc.) With this additional tax more can be spent on transport that benefits everybody not just the few.

No because we’re not all hippies. Some of us need our transport in order to earn money so we can explore the world by rail boat.
i wont. if i travel by train/boat, i run the risk of meeting nutters like you.
I make sure my car is not dangerous, and it does not pollute very much. I’m afraid you have been led up the garden path into thinking the petrol engine is polluting the world.
Is a 95% empty cross country train weighing 500 tonnes less polluting than my car ?
I find that difficult to believe but if you say its true, i guess it is !
now all i need to do is find out how to get 15 miles to the nearest railway station without any bus routes nearby
If i want to go to my local town its 4 miles and 5 minutes by car.
There are no trains, buses, ferries or intergalactic megatransporters.
What would be your public transport recommendation for me ?
public transport has its used for mass transport along busy routes, such as commuter routes. But to demonise people as being Dangerous and polluting when they have no access to public transport is a bit lame and doesn’t help your cause
