I'm with you there - but the problem is that no-one has the guts to spend the coin required to impliment a mag-lev system fully - the only place that can justify it is Shanghai, now it's on its' relentless, cost-no-object pursuit to become "western"
The VFT never went ahead Al, Howie J and the Cost knocked that one on the head due to price—like they haven't got enough (of our) money the arseholes, even at £20m/km. A VFT/TGV/maglev would at least bring transport in this country into the second half of the 20th century/21st century, and would ease the burden on our overcrowded capitals and our overburdened roads by making regional living + commute viable.
The trains heading your way are some sort of rapid tilt train thing, which, for the amount in mill they're paying, really aren't worth it at all. Better to do a job properly than in some Bracksian half-arsed way.
