This system is just a gimmick for the airport to brag about.


No doubt about that.

Once the
maintenance costs start to spiral because its such a niche product
it'll soon go the same was as the birmingham maglev.


I think the poor ride quality will result in many complaints.


I can think of a few in uk.railway that won't be able to cope with the seats
not lining up with the windows.



Also not being able to reserve seats that face forward or back.


Will there be onboard catering at all?



Only if BAA allow burger vans in the car parks.

Unlikely. :-(
