Old news, but I don't recall reading it here...

18 pods, 25mph, two miles of track... I make that 12 times round the
track per hour per pod, or 3 per minute; perhaps well able to achieve
the 1 minute waiting time.

A bigger puzzle is how they will get to T1 from the far side of the
runways where the "perimeter" car park presumably is - will it be taking
over one of the existing road tunnels?
