Have you got transport tubes in that thing?

Actually yes. Mag-lev trains with transport tubes attached to the structual supports and other internal frame tress structures.
Instead of the train riding on a rail from underneith, it will be suspended from overhead and on the sides.
Triple-rail. Train design is arrow-shaped to reduce drag.
How fast will it be?
Because there is no mechanical contact between the Maglev vehicles and its guideway, friction and wear do not impose any limit on the speed of the vehicle. A few short minutes and your at a location clear on the other side of the station. Mass transit systems are only one of the ideas. Personal transit might also be discussed in the near future.
