Flying may be bad for the environment, but taking the train in Europe is bad for your bank account, a new study found.Rail travel within the Continent remains 71 percent more expensive than flying, according to research by Greenpeace. The report compared the prices of flights and trains on 112 European travel routes and found that taking the train was cheaper than a flight in only 23 cases. As a result, despite the fact that flying produces more greenhouse gases than train journeys, people will often opt for the former.In Poland, train travel costs half as much as flying, but the most expensive country for rail travel is the U.K., where travelers pay four times more for train journeys than flights.

Barcelona-London is the third most-traveled short-haul route in Europe, and “shifting these flights to rail would save 461,000 tons of harmful green...
