We had this idea adopted in Italy by Alitalia, known as "surface flights" from Rome International airport to Naples and Florence, and viceversa, some years ago.
Alitalia then had financial troubles for various reasons, and the Alitalia trains were discontinued.
Another difficulty today would be the issue of a "railway operator"s licence.
In fact if Mr Branson would wish to extend operations in any Country in the European Continent, he could do it much easier than other enterprises.
