Its cheaper £590 GBP, and seems to be faster.
Is that even possible ?

Distinct possibly it is Melbourne Florida, as "seems to be faster" Route map LON-ATL-MLB
Would not be the first person to do this. Or Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
LON-xxx-MEL is about 22hrs or more. Via xxx in the Middle East or Asia

The Virgin deal (if to Australia) would likely have several transits and the need to get a USA visa waver as you formally enter USA. If Atlanta and VS likely to be LON-ATL-LAX-SYD-MEL on Virgin Atlantic, Delta & Virgin Australia. DL (or any airline) do not fly to ATL to SYD/MEL. Forget about it.
