In a similar way, the Pods running between the Terminal 5 and the
Business car park probably helped get BAA planning permission for
something else works at Heathrow. They are no longer needed, so are
just left to gather dust.

The pods are supposed to be a "proof of concept" ahead of implementing
pods through the old taxi tunnels to T123 (which will help keep cars out
of the central area). I haven't been to Heathrow recently - are the T5
pods running at all, or is it still in the "proving trials" phase?
