I like this idea better than the moving platform ideas.

Is this for real? If so, what's the point of having a train, if the people ride in the little spaceship-thingy

No its an idea. The problem high speed rail is facing is stopping the train. It takes time, and wear to do it. If you can keep the train moving then you save a lot of money and energy.

After they get on by going into the "spaceship thingy" then they walk down into the main part of the train until they are ready to get off then they get back into the "spaceship thingy" to disembark. !*roll-laugh*! !*roll-laugh*! !!*ok*!!

Interesting vid, but, grandma could never catch that train. What, jump on to a moving train? Whose bone head idea was this? OK, this is just a sim, not real life. Good thing. !!*ok*!!

Did you actually watch the video? There's no jumping onto a moving train.

Yes, sir, I did watch. Seems to me the little train does stop. Front and back hatches open, people get on. The title of the Topic threw me out, a train that doesn't stop, but picks you up.
