20 Jan 2025: Parliamentary Speech
I commend the hon. Gentleman for bringing forward this debate. Does he not agree that to meet carbon targets, connectivity is essential, and rail is needed as an integrated part of that plan? That, as well as subsequent upgrades to existing stations and frequent bus links to rail stations, all must be part of the net zero conversation.
It would not be an Adjournment debate in this place without an intervention from the hon. Gentleman, and he is correct. I will go on to say a little more about the importance of rail to our climate objectives.
Investing in rail goes beyond the economic benefits, despite their substantial nature. It is also about addressing the climate crisis, getting cars and heavy goods vehicles off the road and getting modern electrified rail lines to create a transport system that is fit for the future. In 2022-23, rail contributed 1.3% of the UK’s total emissions from transport, but represented a proportionately overwhelming 9% of all passenger kilometres travelled.
Furthermore, a journey from London to Glasgow by train uses less than a third of the kilograms of CO2 of petrol cars, and around a sixth of the CO2 of the equivalent journey by aeroplane. Transport in total accounts for 27% of all greenhouse gas emissions—the largest contributor in our society—and shifting journeys from road to rail can play a crucial role in the Government meeting their climate targets. Rail travel is one of the most sustainable forms of transport. By investing in Crewe, we can invest in the electrification of the line and a green future for local transport.

It was also fascinating hear about the importance of rail freight to our economy and the important strategic role played by Crewe in the network. Rail freight also has a key role to play in ensuring Britain meets its objectives on tackling the climate crisis. [Source] -

It's fantastic that @BentleyMotors are building their first electric vehicles in Crewe and Nantwich. I hope soon we will have a @UKLabour government serious about supporting them and the wider automotive industry to tackle climate change and create thousands of jobs. https://twitter.com/jreynoldsMP/status/1679041615887753218 [Source]
