Technology / Is there an alternative to the HS2 version of Stephenson's Rocket
« on: 18/02/2020 16:18:30 »
Why are we stuck with Stephenson's Rocket style of train as a concept of mass transit. I would like to know by what means we can replace the traditional railway. I have in mind a Maglev system in parallel with and above the current motorway network. The route and space is already there for free. HS2 is 1 billion pounds a mile. I would really like to hear unbiased academic opinion of what is possible within that budget.
