How can you achieve net zero carbon output when there are such large pieces of infrastructure to develop ? They will take decades and decades to offset, never mind the running. Pushing for the use of old technology such as fossil fuels for trains (EWR and MML) and promoting battery technology- which uses a finite amount of non0renewable resource to mine/manufacture is just creating a problem for the next generation. Surely there is a less destructive transport approach?
