London Monorail!
Hi all,
http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackage...7§ion=news http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/a...ing%20Standard I'll believe that when I see it! -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

What a complete waste of time and effort. No one would sanction the construction of such a monstrosity across Hyde Park and he may find it a tad difficult to provide any foundations in and around Oxford Circus - there's a bit of big hole underground :-) MonoMetro Limited is said to be owned by architect Gareth Pearce and three other partners.

Hmm - an alternative view of how to win friends and influence people. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

The recent one round here was from Ambersham Group , who I hear have a history of failed monorail ideas, running from Western international market to the new brentford football ground. I couldn't come up with a more crazy scheme if I tried. Steve |

I couldn't come up with a more crazy scheme if I tried. I thought it was to run from Heathrow to Hammersmith, along the A4? Originally, the idea was a monorail from the WIM to Lionel Road, the proposed site of Brentford FC's new stadium (behind Kew Bridge station). Currently, Ambersham are said to be developing a scheme to run from Heathrow to Lionel Road along the A30 and A4.[1] Since Ambersham's monorail schemes have a capacity of only 1000 to 3000 people per hour, this doesn't seem very suitable for a football club. On second thoughts, they could probably cope with Brentford's gates. [1] http://www.beesunited.org.uk/lionelr...happening.html The only scheme for a Heathrow-Hammersmith link along the A4 that I'm aware of was Hounslow's tram idea. -- Richard J.
