| Summary | "Railway traction accounts for the greatest proportion of emissions within rail. With all traction electricity for electric rail services matched by an equivalent amount of nuclear power, the emissions can be considered almost entirely from diesel train operation. For rail to support the UK in achieving its net-zero legislative target, diesel operation will need to reduce and potentially cease." |
