Nowt new under the sun eh! Didn't Brunel have some design for Vacuum trains. Also featured in the first Dan Dare adventure. Any way have any of these twonks tried figuring out how much energy its going to take to hold a high vacuum over that volume of tunnel. Oh yeah and what if the car loses pressurisation, you can't push the nose down to get to a breathable atmosphere in a tunnel can you!
