Trains go faster than that (although not Southern Rail, obviously) - wouldn't fancy the claustrophobic effect of going through that tube, though. I'd prefer to see the countryside whizzing by at nearly 200 miles an hour.

Trains in the tunnel have windows, the tunnels are lit, and are not close fitting like that tube.It's no worse than going through the Channel Tunnel.
Hyperloop will require relatively little infrastructure.
boring is the most important part of the technology.

There are occasional lights, so it isn't well lit. It's no worse than the London underground then.
Will it be Driver only
No - didn't read the linked article. Still don't fancy it.Not sure you caught the 'underground' bit...
The tunnel, and the London Underground are OK, although neither can truly be described as fun - and yes, I have considerable first hand experience of both. A windowless projectile in a tight fitting tube, though, that's something else.
Even Concorde had windows.No worse than sitting in a cramped plane. I don't suffer with claustrophobia at all but dislike being on a plane, so I can understand.
