Virgin Group has been a whirlwind of activity lately. The biggest headline comes from billionaire Sir Richard Branson himself Virgin Group is preparing a massive fundraising effort aimed at launching a competitor to Eurostar bracing to shake up rail travel between London and mainland Europe by the decade’s end according to AOL Finance. This has the potential to be one of Virgin’s most ambitious ventures since its founding and could significantly reshape British and European rail networks if successful.
