Maglev?

Legh Richardson
Ok,

I can think of several reasons why the UK doesn't adopt (poor security at different levels) the linear motor concept rather than standard rail tracks, but... why hasn't more publicity been generated around the the possible use of a Maglev railway and its distinct advantages ?

    Yes, a good read although undecided and vacillating (too expensive, not profitable, but green, fast and long term investment etc,). It should be considered as a long term investment linking Europe with London, Birmingham, Manchester/Liverpool and Glasgow.!  IMO, a better solution than HS2. By the time HS2 is completed it is likely to over run, be over budget, and generate greater pollution making it likely to be outdated before it gets off the ground.. At least the first two negatives will happen regardless but the third will benefit future generations.
