Three UK routes are being considered for Europe's first Hyperloop, the high-speed transport technology backed by Tesla boss Elon Musk.

Routes from London to Edinburgh, Liverpool to Glasgow, and Cardiff to Glasgow have all been shortlisted by Hyperloop One, one of several companies competing to make the technology a reality.

The Hyperloop tracks could cut the 414 mile non-stop trip from London to Edinburgh to 50 minutes. The shortest journey time available at the moment is one hour and 20 minutes by plane. By car, it takes seven and a half hours.

Hyperloop One and a panel of advisers are also considering six other routes across Europe.
