We must get European rail travel back on track | Letters

Ahead of the Cop26 conference in Glasgow, UK organisers must do more to make rail travel a viable option for delegates, writes Nigel Perkins. Plus Chris Theobald on the environmental benefits of rail over air travel, and Gayna Walls on her memories of train journeys across Europe

We were very pleased to see you raising the profile of some of these issues in your editorial (The Guardian view on Europe by train: virtue signalling, 2 February). We have been working with members of Back on Track across Europe to support their campaign for the revival of night trains, improved cross-border day services and simpler through-ticketing arrangements.

We shall now be asking the UK government to take a far more proactive approach in the coming months as chair of the Cop26 climate conference to be held in Glasgow this November.
