A design for railway to cause paradigm shift: risks of derailments & capsizing of coaches totally eliminated but with same high speeds and loads : Skybus

Over 35 years of railway service, witnessed derailments, capsizing of coaches losing precious lives; suffered great anguish.The anguish drove effort to find a high speed railway but with zero risk of derailments or capsizing of coaches.

Conceptually if the bogies carrying the coach can be made to ride the track without fear of derailment, and coach has positive attachment to the tracks, risk is mitigated.
