Question

Will the UK get maglev trains in the near future?

Answer 1

I have not seen any plans for Meglev Trains, but I do know that we are pushing the Goverment hard for the funding to build HS2 & HS3. Unfortantly in the end it will be down to the Goverment to decide & signe the 'White Paper'.  So it will b e some time yet.

Answer 2

Perhaps on a small scale. But if anti gravity is discovered, then grav lev trains could be used.

Answer 3

no.

Even in countries like china, where build costs are less expensive, they are struggling to get the £50m per KM to build thier flagship line

Answer 4

I do hope so .

Answer 5

Considering that the guy who invented them is BRITISH ( Professor Eric Laithwait ), we should have had them YEARS ago !

Answer 6

We've already got some. There was one in Birmingham International Airport to the NEC and Stansted has one between terminals. No 300mph Intercity jobs though, too expensive.

Answer 7

There is one at Gatwick airport connecting Terminal 1 to Terminal 2.

Answer 8

Not likely, they still have to extort us with petrol first!
