Seems to combine the worst aspects for aircraft (energy consumption, noise, dedicated landing area, limited access to cities, turbulence, susceptability to weather) and trains ([enormous] dedicated right of way, track capacity limitations, need for route electrification, one-dimensional movement). I can't think of any situation where it would win over a conventional plane or train.

Oh I can. In some tin pot third rate university where they are earnest about 'climate change' and think windmills score over nuclear power stations.
There it wins a design competition.
Its probably got Dyson, Sinclair or Virgin on it somewhere.
You've forgotten Teslar and Apple, but it looked more like a flying burger to me.
No old or fat women allowed either!
Stick the track on a sea bed, bring the power in from wires above the water and you could have 21st century version of this.
