It looks like they are using these figures (from the scotrail document linked to)?I am rather fed up with the English Cast-offs suggestion, any truth in it is completely outweighed by their superior ambience and very deliberate acquisition.
I also have a sneaking suspicion - though no proof - that the carbon footprint figures are comparing like for like, a 5 car HST as most will eventually be, with say, a singular 158 unit.
EDIT: Much as I lament finding myself criticising the overall desirable suggestion of cutting back on carbon emissions.
But I can't make much sense of them; for example are the kWh/km for the whole fleet or per train or per seat or what? And why are the DMU numbers for energy lower than the ones for HSTs, but higher than for HSTs for CO2e?
They seem quite meaningless without knowing the relative sizes of each fleet and how many kms they each travel.
