“As a railway company that operates more than 50,000 services and travels more than 3.5 billion miles a year, we are very aware of the impact both locally and globally we have. We put our people, our places and our planet at the center of everything we do.
“It is widely recognized that the train is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel, generating much less carbon than an equivalent car journey, but that is not enough for us.
“We seek to use resources in ways that minimize waste and promote reuse and recycling. Our customers also play a key role and we thank them for their consideration and support.”
