Overnight container trains only work over 1,000 kilometres and the main reason is to subsidise daytime fares below planes.
In a democracy it is just as cheap and more secure to have the SC maglev in a 14m diameter tunnel which will allow 600 km/h

Re: [JP] Bubbles Linked to Maglev Construction: Communist Party Delegation Demands Explanation
Perhaps China wants to can it because it is faster and cheaper than their EMS maglev with only 1 cm clearance.
In Australia we often have methane bubbles in our creeks but it is no big problem especially if the tunnel is well ventilated.

Any maglev has to be profitable with 600 km/h overnight container trains to replace trucks and planes over 1,000 km so while they driving the tunnel they should build a maglev train to showcase it connecting Melbourne to Sydney.

As a container trainer is far lighter than a conventional freight train it can go overnight between Melbourne and Sydney in a 14m diameter tunnel that earns $1,400,000,000 p/a allowing the daytime ride only $10 which leaves every half hour replacing cars and trucks.

As it is only single guideway between passing stations with a breathable 11 psi it allows the container train to go as fast as the LO maglev in a smaller atmospheric tunnel.

As it would only take two years to drive from Sydney to Melbourne with 60 Chinese double shield hardrock TBM it may be better to forget about the greenies in Japan and think about making an overnight container train for Australia to double the income.
