Heathrow pods
Heard on the new tonight about some "personal transit" at heathrow -
self guided "pods". Not much detail online , the just usual the-future- is-now guff with journalists still being amazed with something thats "computer controlled". Anyone have any more details? Is it a good idea or just a cheap naff alternative to putting in proper transport from the carpark and will end up like the maglev at birmingham, replaced by a bus? B2003 |

Google finds an article in todays Telegraph suggesting wrongly the trial route will be from a perimeter car park to Terminal 1, but also brings up a similar article in the Times back in May suggested Terminal 5.

ISTR an extensive thread on uk.r about it ages ago. Google will reveal all of course ... ah yes, "BAA to build ULTra PRT in Heathrow" from March 2006. ESB |
