Good luck trying to run trains through tunnels at that speed.

And, if you take a way the underground aspect, you're left with the London Orbital/"Heathwick" concept (also based on a Maglev, albeit on the surface). The Airports Commission dismissed that proposal at a fairly early stage in their deliberations.
