Default BAA to build ULTra PRT in Heathrow

I believe they will be using the two service tunnels each side of the main
road tunnels.


Sorry, yes, it does say that in the article :-(

Are those the tunnels that are currently used by taxis, and have a
"loading gauge" hanging over the entrance? Or are the service tunnels in
addition to those? The area between the airport end of the tunnels and
T1 is currently somewhat full of roads and car parks, it will be
interesting to see how they weave this pod-track through it all and up
to the terminal building (currently the frontage is occupied by the car
drop-off zone).
