I wonder what sort of CO2 footprint those old trains have and if the owners offset it?
What a ridiculous thing to say!
You could say that about anything that produces CO2 for pleasure then?
Such as fleets of coaches taking fans to football matches or Formula 1 racing.
Do we stop all the pleasures that we have that produce CO2 for the sake of slowing down global warming? (If it does)
I wonder how much CO2 a diesel Inter City train produces at 125mph with a 2000hp engine at each end?
I will be there to see Clan Line in all her glory and long may she continue to run along with the other great steam locos of the past.
(By the way, on the booking forms of a great many of the steam hauled specials there is a voluntary "Carbon Offset" contribution that clients can make when booking.)
