By Dominic Maher

Published: Thursday 25 February 1999

Virgin chief, Richard Branson's latest venture is a Web site devoted to selling train tickets for any journey in the UK.

Logging on to The Train Line (www.thetrainline.com), customers can book tickets for any journey with any train company and can also check timetables for all operators in the country.

Virgin plans to develop the service by installing pick-up points for tickets, where customers can also use their credit cards for payment.
