Yes, I posted that link up-thread.

Oops, sorry I missed that. I was amused to see on another part of that
site that about 4 in 1000 pod journeys don't go to their expected
destination. I can think of quite a few bus rides I've had where that
happens! And at least you can then tell the pod where it needs to go,
unlike a bus driver.

What's not clear is how one 380-full an hour would scale to the
requirements of the central area (although they might run more pods on
that proposed route).

If the extension to the central area does go ahead, I think they propose
using the service tunnels on either side of main access tunnel
(currently used by cars only). IIRC, moving various pipes in the lower
halves of these would give enough headroom to run up to eight parallel
tracks between the car parks and the central area.

They've also stopped quoting a date when it'll go live (having missed
too many dates already perhaps).

Indeed. I expect the opening will be a very quiet affair, despite all
the testing that has gone on.
