Note that 50 mile in 20min is a (relatively modest for european standards) 240 km/h. The fastest links in europe can sustain 270-300km/h, using traditional, overground trains. Since you would probably need to dig, you don't care as much about noise and you could easily go at top speeds using 70s technology.
- sokoloff 11y agoHowever, you probably can't succeed with just two terminals 50 miles apart from each other. It'll likely be more successful with 3-4 outlying stations, meaning you won't be at "cruise" for the entire 50 mile journey. Still, 30 minutes is also a win over the current status, especially if it's direct to the campus where you work (no "last mile" problem on that end).
