I flew to Craiova last year for the Shakespeare Festival. I worked out it would take days to get there by train. It was during term time & I could not take days to get there & back. For me the critical thing is that I tried hard, learnt about the night jets, and then gave up & flew.

Despite all the wisdom of the Man in Seat 61 the only way I could work out to get by train to Vigo (from Santander ferry) was via Madrid .... The last ferry to Vigo went 40years ago.

In February, a third of new UK cars had a plug, and a quarter didn't have an engine. Good news for the climate and for clean air. The government target for 2025 is 28% full electric; but 25% is close enough for the car industry to avoid fines. www.smmt.co.uk/evs-account-...

Chevron want to drill for fossil fuels in Greece’s sea – on the very edge of a Marine Protected Area. We wrote to the EU last year about Greece repeatedly approving of oil drilling and now we're urging them to pay attention. www.clientearth.org/latest/press...

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.
