Scroggs - I've had the 'pleasure' of travelling what are now Bransons train routes for the last ten years. Have you? My opinion is that he's put a few new trains on the routes ( a small proportion of the daily services), but most are still the same cr@ppy old slam-door trains we had before but painted in new colours. Barely progress. I know RBs schemes are designed to raise the public profile of the company, and profit isn't a dirty word, but perhaps 'hype' is. We're all becoming disillusioned with 'spin' and maybe people are beginning to see through the Virgin propaganda? After all, wasn't this thread started by someone who'd seen through the hype?
Anyway, what about Concorde. And didn't he promise to fly to Oz in a Qantas uniform if VS weren't flying there by Xmas?
