Why is No Rail Link displayed when a rail connection exists?
While the majority of rail connections between available locations are featured within the carbon calculator some were excluded as they were deemed unrealistic, both as a real world route and for the purposes of carbon comparison. For example, a rail connection exists between Fort William and Inverness, however to travel by rail between these two locations would take roughly seven and a half hours to complete at a distance of 248.2 miles. The distance by road between these points is only 66 miles and as a result rail travel was deemed an unrealistic option, especially considering there is an existing bus route.
