Musk's hyperloop might or might not be workable in the right place, but it's simply not going to work in London. (Cost of new construction: prohibitive. Also, London's transport infrastructure is groaning at the seams -- it dates to the 19th century or earlier (road layout mostly dates to the 1670s) and it's simply overloaded. Hyperloop seems to be a high-speed low-numbers solution; what London needs is relatively low-speed but extremely high volume transport.
