LowObservable,
Not just that, but 'clean' electric trains are one the most ineffeicient modes of transport as not only does the nice 'clean' leccy need to be generated by burning horrid dirty fossil fuels, but it has to be transported hundreds of miles meaning that far more power needs to be produced than is used.
Also, didn't I read a while back that the new ATR and Dash TPs are now verging on one of the most fuel efficient modes of transport (when fully occupied of course).
