    Rail travel is one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport – with only 2.6 per cent of Australia’s transport greenhouse gas emissions attributable to passenger and freight rail. Greenhouse gas emissions per passenger kilometre for rail transport is up to five times less than that of car transport, according to the Australasian Railway Association (ARA), and moving freight on rail produces 16 times less carbon pollution compared to trucks.

Came home from Scotland today and my mother made me stand outside the house until after my brother had crossed the threshold because I have reddish hair and so bring bad luck on New Year's Day. Extremely normal behaviour lol
