Virgin takes over the East Coast main line
Britain’s newest rail franchise began not with a train, but with a bus. Weekend engineering works meant the first Virgin Trains East Coast departure - the 7.45am from Leeds - was a bus replacement service to York. Here, passengers transferred to the first actual train of the new franchise operator. It arrived at London King’s Cross, the terminus for Sir Richard Branson’s latest venture, 26 minutes early - a reflection of the “padding” added to Sunday schedules.

Cuba's Playa Paraiso Beach Named Among World's Best, Because Of COURSE Cuba Has A Secret Paradise
We can think of many reasons to go to Cuba -- it's not like we needed one of the best beaches on the planet to lure us there.
But hey, we'll take it if you're offering.
Playa Paraiso Beach, on Cuba's Cayo Largo, was recently crowned one of the top beaches in the world in TripAdvisor's annual Travelers' Choice survey. This sprawling stretch of blue has a cheeky little beach bar, a shuttle from nearby lodgings and the biggest hunk of undisturbed perfection we've seen in a while.
Don't forget the bustling community of sea life and "sugar sand" that is "so white and soft." Yumm.
As you can see, there's not much here -- just some beach chairs, trees and that endless blue gem of an ocean. Sign us up, we say!
Thankfully for us, American tourism to Cuba has gotten a bit easier, and it will likely continue to do so. Now the problem is just getting here before everyone else does.

Doha scores in the Gulf: Qatar's cultured and high-rise capital is now the pearl of Arabia
DESPITE all the controversy, in just seven years from now the likes of Lionel Messi and, just maybe, a very ageing Wayne Rooney, will be competing for the World Cup in a nation which two decades ago was barely on our radar.
