Yeah there could but that's not how ICE are sheduled most of the time. But there could also be 4 tubes stacked, or your security distance reduced. Your whole capacity argument is based in the "acceptable amount of lives lost". If you're ok with the same amount of lives lost in a catastrophic hyperloop accident, as with a catastrophic ICE accident and assuming that everyone perishes in case of a hyperloop accident (unrealistic but let's go with it), then that would be 101 lives. Which gives us 3.6 times as much capacity for the hyperloop, or 3030 passengers per hour per tube. Say you stack 4 tubes, that's 12120 passengers per hour between two points compared to 8400 passengers for your ICE case. And that still completely ignores the multi rout load balancing, last mile convenience, small village connection and no waiting time advantages gained from packet routing.
