Heathrow Pod Passenger Trials Begin

T5 Business Car Park passengers today (18.04.2011) joined in confidence
trials of the Heathrow pod.

The trial, due to last three weeks, will encourage travellers to get on
board and let BAA and Ultra, the pod's creators and developers, know what
they think of the system.

First day feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with passengers
undertaking the five minute ride to/from the T5 Business Car Park to T5
describing it as "futuristic", "rapid" and "a transport revelation".

It is anticipated that the system will go fully live this summer, with the
21 pod vehicles operating 22 hours a day.
