(you can look it up on the interwebs if you are still skeptical)

Virgin's offer of ~$4 million (!) plus a $20 million loan is a steal.

I don't doubt the hype, nor do I doubt the perception. I've done the GTW express a few times to downtown and its within minutes of the tube, but nevertheless legends persist. I never understood why anyone, even a road warrior, would pay significantly more for the perception of a few minutes after a long transatlantic flight, but they do and obviously we need to take advantage of it.
