Very neat design. I don't see it being very space-efficient, though.

Weired......circular is not an ideal shape for a train station. Would the shorter trains be located near the edge and the longer trains near the middle?

From the first pic it seems that the dome is actually not hosting the trains, only some design feature:

Looks like the platforms are spanning out of the dome.
