Can I use this without a plane ticket? Can I use this without a
long-stay car park ticket?

It might be free "if you have the right parking ticket". Also, is it
operating two-way, it might be just parking-terminal to start with.


It's open for a couple of weeks for real-world trials. I doubt you'll
need a ticket, certainly if it's not busy, but if you're worried get
the bus to the long stay, and PRT back - they're less likely to demand
a ticket that way.

Is there just one station in the parking? Most airport long-stays have
at least half-a-dozen bus stops, I assume the ultra is the same.

I'm flying from Heathrow during the public trial, but already booked
my parking (£3 cheaper) at the non-business parking (slightly further,
but usually faster on the bus). Very annoying.

There are two PRT "stations" in the T5 Business Car Park.
