The Trans-Atlantic MagLev VacTrain — A Magnetically Levitated Vacuum Tube Train
A Maglev train floats about 10mm above the guidway on a magnetic field and is propelled by the guidway itself rather than an onboard engine by changing magnetic fields. An exotic proposal based upon this principle is the Trans Atlantic vactrain: a Maglev train in a long near-vacuum tube with speeds that allow less than one hour travel times between New York and London.

Whew! The name is a mouthful! :)
Just call it the ”VacTrain” :-)
”TransAtlantic MagLev VacTrain” - sounds like someone clearing their throat...
