Bullshit Meter: Virgin Trains to run Channel Tunnel services in 2030

There was lots of media coverage of Virgin being granted paths on HS1 and into St Pancras from 2030 (see this in The Guardian for example), but the crux is this: if Virgin can get its trains delivered and running to schedule, then an October 2030 date for launch is viable. There is work to do, but this is not bullshit.
Last week - before the news about the paths for Virgin broke - I recorded an episode of Green Signals about recent developments in Channel Tunnel traffic.
