      Maintaining a vacuum over long distances is really fucking hard.
      You’d be better served utilising existing rail infrastructure and improving that to make high speed trains possible.

          Why not just make a tunnel and forget the vacuum? It’s just a subway system, but it’s efficient

          Edit: France & England might have dug a tunnel but Paris and London just have a subway. And train to move around the country.

          Edit2: fixed wording
