An amazing article comparing travel times by train, plane, and automobile. Ever travel in Europe? Find out the best way to go and learn more about their public transportation. Did you know European trains can go over 300kmh?!

Interesting concept - 3 teams vying against each other as which is the best way to travel.

I love those TGV trains- I get from the South of France to central London in 8 hours- enough time to read a book, have lunch with a glass of wine- and catch up on my emails- its more expensive than say Ryanair- but now the Eurostar has worked on reducing its carbon footprint- and off set the unavoidable emissions. Now all we need is the European Union to introduce tax on aviation fuel, VAT on air tickets- and a nice little green tax on aviation as well so that airfares reflect the true cost to the planet and stop subsidising air travel by giving them a tax free status.
