Are you now going to stop going on about MagLevs and onto how Bamboo trains would improve Britains railways...?

Might be cheaper and as fast as light rail, but I bet it won't, along with that "kiddy rail" idea attract as many people off cars.
I'm sure more people would be encouraged to get out of their cars by a new bus route!

And this is a conventional railway and it can go at 200mph in normal service or 320mph when trying to break the speed record! Clicksy here!
