Hey, lugless Duhglas
Change the setting to "small car" and set the journey Leeds to Dundee.
CO2 and energy consumption are equal within the limits of measurement.
However, the train emits about 15% more particulates but nitrogen
oxides are 300% higher as are nonmethane hydrocarbons, and this is
with the car travelling with 2 empty seats.
In the citcumstances I have to ask why the train gets the green column
in the histogram, since trains obviously stink. <But we knew that>
