The Train That Never Stops

It's an interesting concept but I'm not entirely convinced it would work in practice. It certainly wouldn't work in this country due to lack of room for new platforms and stuff. It's still not futuristic enough for me. Where are the supersonic underground pods?

  1. Very interesting, I thought it was going to be like those non-stop Swiss cable cars, but it wasn't. It looked as if it was just jettisoning a carriage at each station. Wouldn't that mean that if you were going to a popular station, you'd be jammed in? It would be hard to spread the passengers out.
    Definitely no space for it here. We can't even have double-decker trains because of all our low bridges. Loved the Chinese station announcements. That language is like music.
