Apparently, the Swedes have a name for it: flygskam.
Following Greta Thunberg's trip around Europe some weeks ago, the Guardian published an article about her journey and the growth in demand for rail travel in Sweden - see https://www.theguardian.com/environ...-train-journey-through-europe-flygskam-no-fly
Today, a further article about "green" travel - often by rail - has appeared on the Guardian website at: https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2019/may/22/could-you-give-up-flying-meet-the-no-plane-pioneers
So two questions; will flight shaming catch on here in the UK, and - perhaps more importantly - could our rail network cope with a significant growth in long distance rail travel resulting from it?
