Thanks, guys.
My interest in maglev started with the UK Ultraspeed plan to build a Glasgow to London route. A lot of work was put into the proposal, initially backed by the UK Government. However, later on it was rejected on cost grounds. The proposers claimed the figures had been altered against them and in favour of HS2.
Looking at the current HS2 situation, I can't help feeling this was a bad decision.
Let's keep politics out of it, though, and discuss the benefits of their plan.
Would you like me to give more detail?
