The train also takes exactly 20 seconds to get from the edge of the main
terminal building to the portal, a distance of 235m (thus 12m/sec -
which is 80% of the unit's 34mph top speed) and there simply isn't time
between the portal and the station to go anywhere near the freight
terminal and back.


Yes, thanks, it does look like the map I found places the 180 degree
curve too far to the west.


I can't see the point of the system when all the satellite terminals are
within walking distance of the main building. Why didn't they just
install some sky bridges and travellators?
