This is a welcome step and a conversation we need to urgently have in the U.K. However, the ability to do this is connected to an affordable, public transport network.

Interesting piece from @OneMileataTime. The French legislation banning domestic flights within 2.5hrs by train, only affects 5 out of 108 routes, none of which are in the top 5 most emitting routes in France: https://t.co/Z44x7nBYdO pic.twitter.com/h2nO8Af0S7

A clarification: The ban was approved by the National Assembly last night, and it's now with the Senate.

탄소배출 많은 항공기 운항 감축 시동. 프랑스 의회 국내 철도로 2시간 반 이내 갈 수 있는 구간 항공편 정지 의결. 기후/환경 보호 조치. 마크롱 대통령이 발의한 시민기후협약 원안은 4시간 이내까지 포함됐으나 후퇴. 어설픈 절충이라는 지적. 유럽 다른 나라들도 검토. https://t.co/82dOWLmgrh

Ooh. Now that is progress. No-one should be getting on a plane if there's a train that takes you to the same place in less than 2.5 hours. Hopefully they'll increase the time in the future but it's the principle that matters. https://t.co/tfQV9CTZZb

France to ban some domestic flights where train available https://t.co/v1OdsWM1Ms - more countries need to do this. Also, more countries need to ensure that rail fares are not more expensive than domestic flights. Looks at the UK...
