Services: trains listed in the timetable (not all run every day); buses a day for the bus. Time is the fastest scheduled train and the typical bus, station to station. Flight time is shown as the air time plus 4h 5m: about 30m by road to GOI, 2h at the airport before departure, 30m from landing to the exit, and about 1h 5m from COK into Kochi. Those are our assumptions, not airline rules; the air time is on each flight card. CO₂ is an estimate per person (the car per car) from distance × published UK government (DESNZ/DEFRA) factors, which are not India-specific. Factors checked .
