BA Baracus “ain’t getting on no plane, fool!” and neither should UK travellers.


In honour of his aerophobic co-star, A-Team star Sharlto Copley (Murdock) unveiled a new-look East Coast Train at King’s Cross Station, whose rear carriage now holds a striking resemblance to the iconic A-Team van and will appear to push the train as it sets off to Edinburgh.


The A-Team train is the first ever train to be wrapped in this way, as East Coast Trains joined forces with The A-Team Blu-ray & DVD to launch ‘Only Fools Fly Day’, taking over the ever-popular Kings Cross to Edinburgh route and urging Britons to ditch planes and ride the rails on the back of jaw-dropping environmental research.

Helveta Wins 'Vision & Future Growth Potential' Award at Cleantech Connect 2010


Helveta Ltd, the provider of supply chain intelligence software, CI World™, has been named the winner of the 'Vision & Future Growth Potential' award and ranked sixth fastest growing Cleantech company in Europe over the last three years, at Cleantech Connect 2010, organised by investment bank GP Bullhound with premium sponsor, Schroder's Private Banking.


The judges' comments highlighted why Helveta was chosen for the award: "Helveta has successfully secured contracts in Ghana, Indonesia and Liberia implementing hardware and software solutions. The local administrations and rainforests of those countries are some of the most challenging and the judges felt this deserved extra merit. Helveta has managed to provide, for the first time anywhere, a chain of custody for the global hardwood industry. As regulation of hardwoods and other natural assets increases, the business is perfectly positioned to capture a large share of this market."


Helveta's CEO, Patrick Newton, commented, "This award substantiates the tremendous advancement and momentum experienced by Helveta, helping tropical timber producing nations manage their end-to-end supply chains and comply with emerging international legislation. As we grow our presence in other commodity markets, such as cocoa, we are perfectly placed to continue to grow at a significant rate, through a combination of our specialist technology and in-depth understanding of working in emerging markets worldwide."

emissions are a whopping 84kg. Train travel has proven to be far more environmentally friendly, with passengers emitting 3 times less CO2 per passenger at 27kg. If no-one flew between London and Edinburgh for one day we would save 468,493kg in carbon emissions. That’s the equivalent amount of energy used by leaving a computer switched on for 1,735 years, producing 2.3 million plastic bags or driving a car around the world 106 times!


In honour of BA, the aerophobic character, the A-Team theme song was even be played upon arrival at each destination and some East Coast Trains staff were sporting BA Mohawks and t-shirts.
