2 Single most important factor Transrapid is a proven reality 30 km at 431km/h in Shanghai has demonstrated maglev in public service km city-to-city maglev links then become realistic goals for British policy-makers km British intercity network can then be promoted on prudent step-by-step business plan and policy can be influenced accordingly.

93 The economic benefits of such a link would be incredible... it would shred existing journey times to the major cities. Until you travel on Maglev, you cannot really appreciate what a phenomenal invention it is. It is ridiculously quiet for something travelling at such immense speeds and its ability to shrink long journey times is breath-taking. James Ramsbotham CEO North East Chamber of Commerce

117 Ultra-high speed means exceptional efficiency Only 2 x 3-car units in service provide launch service: deps every 20 min in both directions. Build to 3 x 5-car units: increases capacity and allows departures each way every 15 min Plus 1 unit under maintenance rail units would be required. Illustration: 3-car & 5-car Transrapid units passengers per unit in Glasgow-Edinburgh configuration Energy usage stated for full 5-car units: shows full consumption of the fully-developed system.
