The return of HOTOL?

Let’s hope not.

50 Euros per trip doesn’t seem quite fast enough.

It’ll never happen. Return tickets will be anything north of £25,000; that’s a good £20,000 more than your standard return business class ticket to SYD – so unless this traveller’s time is worth £500 an hour it’ll never take off. No pun intended.
