4.9Hyperloop is a high-speed train concept that runs within a vacuum in a tube. Hyperloop is a new form of ground transport currently in development by a number of companies.
It could see passengers travelling at over 700 miles an hour in floating pod inside giant low-pressure tubes, either above or below ground.
Hyperloop could be cheaper and faster than train or car travel, and cheaper and less polluting than air travel. It is also quicker and cheaper to build than traditional high-speed rail.
The original hyperloop was based on a report published by Elon Musk in 2013 which proposed the idea of shooting capsules through a tube at high speed.
