Compare CO2 emissions for your journey...
You can now compare the CO2 emissions of the four main modes of transport (Car, Rail,
Bus/coach, and Plane) for your journey.
You can do a simple emissions comparison by inputting a distance in miles or
kilometres. TD will tell you how much CO2 would be emitted if you travelled that distance
by car, train, bus, or plane.
Or look at the emissions for your journey by different modes of
transport by following the links from your journey details page.
Go to the CO2
emissions page to find out.
Getting Transport Direct on the move...
You can also get our Transport Direct Mobile service on your mobile phone or PDA for

You can check scheduled bus times (for most of Britain).
You can also check if there are any current or planned disruptions for both road and
