answer text <p>Rail is generally an environmentally friendly way to travel or move goods. While recognising the difficulty of making comparisons between different modes of transport, the rail industry estimates that emissions are less than 115 grams of CO2 per passenger kilometre for rail compared to over 130 grams for private cars and over 150 grams for air travel. Each tonne of freight transported by rail reduces carbon emissions by 76 per cent compared to road haulage.</p><p> </p><p>We are nevertheless committed to ensuring that the environmental performance of rail continues to improve. As part of a programme of ongoing work across government and industry to evaluate the railway's impact on carbon emissions, air quality, environmental noise and biodiversity, reports have recently been published on decarbonisation and lineside vegetation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department’s ‘targeted compliance’ approach to the upgrade of vehicles built before modern accessibility standards were established considers applications for dispensation on a case-by-case basis and in consultation with the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee. It has already issued 34 dispensations from standards in the Persons of Reduced Mobility Technical Specification for Interoperability and 33 exemptions from standards in the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 for fleets which will continue in operation after 31 December 2019. Derogations against interoperability standards are issued by the European Commission in respect of newly designed vehicles and not by the Secretary of State.</p> more like this
