Today, one of the two Class 1216 locomotives purchased by ČD from RTS Rail Transport Service in August 2019 entered regular service.
The conclusions reached in our series of articles The Train-In-A-Vacuum-Tube Fantasy demonstrated that the use of Hyperloop technology for passenger transport is impractical and contradicting the laws of physics. Nevertheless, it is remarkable how many Hyperloop projects are now being prepared, on a worldwide scale.
In March Bayerische Oberlandbahn received first two Coradia Lint DMUs of 31 on order for services in the Bavarian region Oberland.

On 27 March 2020 Alstom has been awarded a contract to supply 30 Coradia Lint 41 DMUs to Hessische Landesbahn.
On 30 March 2020 Bombardier Transportation announced that it has received a firm order for 19 six-car Regio 2N double-deck EMUs from SNCF on behalf of the Region Auvergne-Rhône Alpes.

Metrovagomash sent eight Model 81-717.4/714.4 cars following their overhaul and modernisation to the Sofia metro.
On 17 January 2018, during the then Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev’s visit to the USA, KTZ and GE Transportation signed a contract for 300 diesel shunters. Final assembly was announced to take place at the LKZ works.
In our article about Prima locomotives we described problems at orders of electric locomotives from EKZ. But similar problems concern also KTZ orders of Tulpar Talgo and LKZ, both factories based in Nur-Sultan. Of the Evolution diesel locomotives, which are manufactured at the latter site, only part of the initially planned numbers were built so far.
On 20 March 2020 TMH announced that it will provide post-warranty maintenance of the Metrovagonmash-built Class 711 DMUs, of whose 39 were manufactured for ŽS between 2011 and 2016.
On 23 March 2020, Metrovagonmash handed over a new four-car underground train to Samarski metropoliten.
On 20 March 2020 Stadler announced that it was selected as a winner of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe international tender for the delivery of up to 1,500 new underground cars for use on the Berlin U-Bahn network.

In the preceding series of articles The Train-In-A-Vacuum-Tube Fantasy we examined the laws of physics which govern transport within vacuum tubes. The conclusions reached demonstrated succinctly that the use of Hyperloop technology for passenger transport is impractical, contradicting the laws of physics and raising many issues which appear to lack feasible solutions. Nevertheless, it is remarkable how many Hyperloop projects are now being prepared, on a worldwide scale.
