Elon Musk the Tesla cars bloke who also does spacecraft has been encouraging people to work on a high speed (target 750mph) cannister and tube transport system. A bit like those things they put the cash in at tesco but you put people rather than cash in it. I don't really fancy it but I suppose if time is money and you really need to be somewhere fast it could be a competitor to overland aircraft. Specially in a place like the US of A. Is it the long distance transport system of the future? arstechnica.co.uk/cars/2017/07/hyperloop-one-full-system-test/ |

You can't see much in a tube. Traveling should be about enjoying quality time like everything else. |

I agree and its against my religion to ever be in a hurry to get somewhere but fast transport such as planes does seem to be quite popular. I have not travelled in a jet aircraft since the early 90s but I am guilty of having used HS1 and TGV in France a few times over the last decade. |

Agreed, although I've been up the Esgair Daffyd competitively on the bike, didn't look too much at the stunning scenery until we did day two which was an untimed run. Had a good time through there and got best 250cc award 💪👍🍻 |

Bloody petrolheads.
Apparently the hyperloop will have the same efficiency per passenger as a bicycle.
I hate bicycles but it would be pretty cool to have a high speed over land transport system which uses close to zero energy.

Watch the YouTube clip 👍 The historics are well supported, nothing like a BDA/BDG echoing through the forestry  Although many of the modified open class MK 2' stuff running on Tarmac - especially in Ireland use Millington or trick Volvo motors. |

Watched it already, I just didn't realise you appreciated such stuff. I used to hand draw his cars....not that I have any remaining now. |
