Travel time from London to Manchester could be as little as 18 minutes if Hyperloop One’s proposed transport system can be built in the future. The firm, backed by billionaire Elon Musk, has envisaged a way of travelling in a tunnel without friction and air resistance. There is currently no working prototype, and some doubt that it could work at scale, but the potential value has been enough for the British Government to engage in talks with Hyperloop One.

Key Takeaways:

• Hyper speed train using magnets
• Reduced journey times
• London to Manchester 18 Minutes

“According to a spokesman from the company, Hyperloop One met with Peel Group to discuss a route between Manchester and Liverpool. The high-speed nature of the transport method would effectively turn the two cities into one mega city.”
