Compare CO2 emissions for your journey...
You can now compare the CO2 emissions of the four main modes of transport (Car, Rail,
Bus/coach, and Plane) for your journey.
You can do a simple emissions comparison by inputting a distance in miles or
kilometres. TD will tell you how much CO2 would be emitted if you travelled that distance
by car, train, bus, or plane.
Or look at the emissions for your journey by different modes of
transport by following the links from your journey details page.
Go to the CO2
emissions page to find out.
