The BBC have this story about the Virgin trains and their £7.6bn tilting train project to cut the travel time between London and Glasgow which has hit trouble on its debut.
The good old Beeb also have this story it is about Virgin getting into the Space Tourism industry with a £14m agreement.
Okay so what we have is a company that spends £7.9bn on a project to cut half an hour off a route that has been travelled for a hundred or so years and it arrives two hours late and the same company is spending £14m to send people into space. Bagsy not on the first flight

yup… let’s boost confidence on earth before moving on to space…
yeah- not gonna be on that first ’space tour’ either. I listen to their internet radio from time to time and can only imagine that “Little Chef” is one of the space sponsors… heh heh
Seems like everything “is brought to you by Little Chef…”
smooches~

Half a sleep after getting off a coach on the way Scarborough for a summer holiday for a “comfort” stop at some time of the morning that a seven year old didn’t know existed and seeing a “Pong” video game cabinet for the first time. The excitement the pure wonder of it.
