Received from a happy customer today: “I returned to the office today after 7 months at home. Loaded my smart card last night and purchased my tickets no hassle. Trains on time both ways and clean.” Thank you to the teams at @ScotRail and @NetworkRailSCOT! 👏 👍 😷

The carbon footprint of 120 years of HS2 Phase One, including construction & operation, will be less than one month’s UK road transport emissions. Carbon emissions per passenger km on HS2 is 7 times less than passenger cars and 17 times less than domestic air travel.
