BY TRAIN TO GLASGOW?

The UN conference on climate change (COP26) is due to meet in Glasgow November 1st – 12th.  Many participants will no doubt fly there, but for a considerable number from continental Europe, rail should be a feasible option.
 
AERA’s members will be pleased to hear from any potential delegates, lobbyists or media people and advise them of the possibilities of travelling to Scotland by train. In some cases, Interrail / Eurail or rail/air/rail may also be worth considering.
