I am a fan of our railways. I’ve been travelling by train them more than ever this year, instead of doing longer out-of-town journeys by car, reducing my use of fuel and subsequent pollution and emissions. Reducing our usage of petrol and diesel is a way to lower its price, noting that fuel costs have a high impact on overall inflation and our cost of living. Russia’s murderous war machine benefits from high oil demand and the sooner that Europe can stop importing Russian oil, the better.
