THE REVIEW ›› DATA Rail vs. air travel
LOOK closely at the full data set of comparisons below to compare route by route on the six routes chosen: four domestic and two continental Europe. This Total Impact report demonstrates the cost-effective- ness of rail travel versus air travel. If all CWT UK clients had chosen rail over air on routes with com- peting services, in ten months last year they would have saved: • 65,540 hours or 2730 days, or 7.5 years! (at £40 an hour, that's £2.6 million in productivity) • £7.9million in fares • £365,224 in carbon offset The Total Impact Report takes
into account cost of ticket, traveller productivity and cost of
carbon offsetting. By awarding a value to each of these elements, especially when reviewing domestic UK mainland travel, it is clear that travelling by rail can be the most cost effective, productive and green option. Nigel Turner, director of
programme management and business development at CWT comments, “The figures speak for themselves, and we’d encourage travel managers to ensure regular reviews of their routes and traveller habits and consider how rail on some of these might be a more budget and carbon-friendly option as well as increasing productivity and decreasing stress for travellers.”
