Aircraft condensation trails warm Europe 14.6× more than the global avg & night contrails 2.5× more than daytime (Teoh et al. 2024). Contrails make up 57% of aviation's total heating effect – likely even more over Europe's busy skies. Just mentioning.
More night trains = less of the most damaging emissions. 🌙🚂

🚄🌙 The European Commission released its Passenger Package proposal. What do we think? A solid foundation in need of finishing touches.
We submitted our position paper which summarises our assessment and suggestions to the European Commission's Have Your Say portal, and we want to share it with you too.
Here is a summary of the five key improvements we suggested. Read the full report here: https://back-on-track.eu/passenger-package-needs-finishing-touches/
Kudos to our Advocacy Working group for leading this report!

Swiss public broadcaster with an interesting plane-daytrain-coach price comparison with #nighttrains for all overnight connections from 🇨🇭 Zurich (incl. the abandoned Copenhagen project). Does this reflect your experiences?
