Andalucía to London in ten hours – by train Olive Press Newspaper: "Paris to Madrid train link could be in place by the end of next year.
It would bring the journey time down to as little as five-and-a-half-hours between the two cities.
This would not only cut out the “airport hassle factor”, but it would slash individual CO2 emissions by a staggering 90 per cent.
The fast link between Paris and London (2hrs, 15mins) is already in place, as is the new AVE line between Madrid and Malaga (2hrs, 45 mins).
It would be up to an hour quicker if travelling from Sevilla or Cordoba. The route has many green advantages.
Pollutants from a train are less damaging to the environment because they are released at the ground level, rather than directly into the upper atmosphere where planes fly.
Eurostar has even gone a step further in its eco-friendliness by cutting its own emissions by 31 per cent between 2007 and 2009, quickly surpassing its 2007 goal of a 25 per cent reduction by 2012."
