There's a difference between a schwebebahn that can transport a camera and a schwebebahn that can transport a man. I wonder. -- Basil Jet recently enjoyed listening to Pere Ubu - 2009 - Bring Me The Head Of Ubu Roi |

The manufacturer doesn’t give much detail on their website but they are supplying equipment for an existing tunnel that is being reequipped in the Croydon area rather than the new build featured in the BBC clip. http://www.fataautomation.co.uk/case...n-vehicle.html Perhaps National Grid wants to install such a system as standard where it can on similar new and refurb projects if space permits.
