3 hours was the proposal (and it was achievable) - and compare it to the
current situation. Although this brings me back to my thoughts that there is
a market for an overnight sleeping service, appropriatelt priced, and
CORRECTLY MARKETTED to the business community - and the operators paying a
premium for priority. 1900 departure each end, 0700 arrival, arrive
refreshed (after a shower and breakfast, dinner and breakfast included in
the fare, and tickets interchangeable with the airlines) and it would work
(countless of my corporate clients told me so).
