The Train Zone map – destinations
This map only displays a selection of destinations in Europe. If you have any additions or alterations, please e-mail them to andersreizen@uu.nl.
Train travel time
The train travel times are based on the options with shortest travel time and the least amount of transfers.
All journeys are calculated from the centre of Utrecht to the centre of the city you are travelling to. Current search results may differ from the travel time displayed in this document.
Aeroplane travel time
Travel times by aeroplanes are based on flight duration + travel time (to and from the airport) + waiting time (check-in and customs). All journeys are calculated from the centre of Utrecht to the centre of the city you’re travelling to. The travel time + waiting time are standardised to +3 hours added to the flight duration.
Travel time disparity
The disparity between travel time by flying versus travel time travelling by train is calculated by subtracting the shortest travel time from the longest travel time.
Number of transfers train
The number of transfers has been based on the options with shortest travel time and the least amount of transfers.
Number of transfers aeroplane
The number of transfers for travelling by aeroplane include transfers to train/taxi/shuttle to get from Utrecht to the airport and from the airport to the centre of the city.
CO2 emission (kg) lying versus travelling by train
The CO2 emission has been calculated with an online tool called Ecopassenger. Emissions of other pollutants are also included in the calculation. If Ecopassenger didn’t have data on a destination, the CO2 emission was calculated by multiplying 0.026 (WTW of Train International) or 0.297 (WTW of Aero plane Regional < 700 km) with the number of kilometers from Utrecht to the end destination. The WTW*
values are from www.co2emissiefactoren.nl.
Comfort label
When the longest train journey is over an hour longer than the longest flight and has 3 or less transfers, the destination receives a comfort label. This label indicates that it is possible to work during your train journey.

train journey.
* WTW = Well to Wheel or source to wheel. This encompasses all emissions from energy generation to consumption.
