#2.6 Are trains the future of climate-friendly travel?
Manage episode 332688173 series 3365676
This week, we speak to Mark Smith of the Man in Seat 61 and Anna Hughes of Flight Free UK to find out why a lot of travelers are switching from planes to trains, and to learn about some of the exciting new train routes we can explore.
Anna Hughes is the director of Flight Free UK, which is working to inspire people to embrace trains and other forms of travel that have a low-carbon impact – including by asking people to pledge to take a year off flying. She shares how they aim to see the pledge not as a sacrifice, but as an opportunity to explore different (and maybe more rewarding!) forms of travel.
Mark Smith is the founder and CEO of The Man in Seat 61, a fantastic online resource with information on train routes, fares and timings in Europe, the UK and beyond. He joins the show to talk about why he’s seeing growing interest in train travel, to offer tips for how train travelers can find good deals, and to share his favorite rail routes in Europe.
Plus, listen up for our latest language lesson, in which Paige learns a wonderful phrase in Dutch.
Thank you so much for listening!
