LONDON”S Olympic bid has somewhat uniquely gained the support of both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic clearly the two carriers appreciating the real value that a successful submission for the 2012 Olympics Games and Paralympic Games will bring. With the Crossrail go-ahead given last week, Eurostar is well on line for a 2007 introduction at St Pancras and Terminal 5 now a very visible entity the whole scheme is beginning to look realistic. Branson and Eddington preaching together from the same pulpit should also be interesting. Londoner Lord Marshall, who retired from British Airways last week (see above), is another proponent of the bid.
