What is it about Virgin and the Labour big boys?
Today, as the cabinet decamped by pendolino to Birmingham for their first meeting outside London since the days of Lloyd George, the Virgin website broke down and the faithful following in their wake were unable to book tickets.
Beardie will not have forgotten the notorious encounter with Labour bigwigs in 1998, when the train carrying them to the party conference in Blackpool was severely delayed and he had to endure a humiliating dressing down by John Prescott from the conference platform.
Mind you in those dim and distant days the brothers and sisters went to cheer Mr Tony.
Today, with Gordon's popularity at an all time low, party managers were absolutely delighted that the smelly-socks couldn't make it.
How long until Beardie gets the 2014 franchise extension he's been lobbying so hard for?
