By rail of course

Rail

It is more environmentally friendly to use rail. Less efficient and much slower though.

By rail of course. But I don't think it is the most efficient choice. It will hurt the logistics business.

Railing is definitely the most environmentally friendly option. Plans pollute the air directly

From an environmental standpoint, for longer journeys, air freight is a more suitable option. This is to help combat the high energy costs associated with take-off and landing.

I'd say by rail, for sure. Trains emit fewer carbon emissions.

I agree with the other comments. It would definitely be by rail.
