Just curious - a wheeled train through the tube

Unread post by Q2021 »

Hi all,

What would the comparison look like - a maglev train(or pods) versus a wheeled electric train(or pods) moving through the tube.

To keep things equal let's consider - trains of same weight(possible?), same seating capacity, same speed (whatever max wheeled ones have achieved - guess, 357 mph - or just for analysis we may consider 500 kmph ?)

Unviable? unattractive? Why? Please share the factors you may consider relevant for your opinion?
Thanks & Best regards.

Sorry but it would be too slow for overnight container trains and too expensive to maintain in my opinion.
