The climate case
A sleeper carriage is roughly 30× cleaner than the equivalent flight.
If a single passenger took every one of our 205 routesby train instead of by plane, they'd avoid roughly 36.1 tonnes of CO₂. Emissions are estimated using EcoPassenger / UIC factors, which account for the warming effect of contrails and NOx at altitude.
