You want to build an underground railway under farmland to a small rural settlement 10km or so from a smallish town with no major traffic problems? Think about it: - it'll use large amounts of energy in construction - it'll cost a fortune to build and maintain - if the users are charged anything near the full costs, it'll be so expensive (many times the cost of a 10km drive) that nobody will use it - if subsidised to the degree that it's affordable, it'll be such a charge on the ratepayer/taxpayer that it'll be closed down after a few years - leaving a large, expensive mushroom farm This is a joke right?

Think about it:
- it’ll use large amounts of energy in construction
- it’ll cost a fortune to build and maintain
- if the users are charged anything near the full costs, it’ll be so expensive (many times the cost of a 10km drive) that nobody will use it
- if subsidised to the degree that it’s affordable, it’ll be such a charge on the ratepayer/taxpayer that it’ll be closed down after a few years
- leaving a large, expensive mushroom farm
