Where do you get 54 minutes? The train travels at 400mph and takes 8 hrs 20 minutes from New Jersey to Swansea.

Sounds to me like its gonna be like the titanic or something and the tunnel will cave in on all these people that won the trip. Not to be a downer but I would be curious. Maybe I'll be working on that project when I graduate school.

I thought that, was even going to check out snopes. But soooo much work had gone into it, and I know there have been plans for a couple of hundred years, that I thought maybe finally they were coming to fruition. It was the 54 minutes that made it ridiculous. If they'd just stuck with 400 mph and 8 hour journeys they could've had the public going for years.

I hate marketing. Always promising stuff we can't do and then it's up to us to sort out the crap. Recently they wanted to say one thing, and then do something different, which they believed would "look the same" to the customer. **slaps forehead**

Soon got them out of that mode!
