Heathrow Pods

A ride experiencing the excellent Heathrow Pods, the personal, electric, rapid transit system between Heathrow Terminal 5 and Business Parking A and B. The vehicles use opportunity charging which means that they top up their batteries at the stations and at designated parking areas around the system. Progress is rapid and vehicles are laser guided and steered by the computer on board. The system works entirely automatically with a controller keeping a watchful eye over everything with the ability to manage any breakdowns or passenger issues. All in all this is an excellent system with real promise to be applied elsewhere. I intend to return soon.

[@andrewdbeach]

I really love how everything that is happening is explained by the pod

[@iluveschool]

@@doms6741 maybe they can implement a system in which every person has a unique user card that must be scanned before entering the pod, the travel fare will automatically be deducted when u scan to leave. if they leave a mess behind and they have cameras inside they can automatically deduct a "cleaning charge". But I think self driving cars will be more popular than private pods for public transportation.

This is Heathrow interterminal transport to terminal 5. You can't walk as there is no footpath only those pods. They are free.

[@dmanc85]

@@tarafficstory You're getting confused between the system that you have to use between T5A to T5B and T5C, this is from a car park to T5, it costs £5 per person. The £30/day is the price it costs to park in the car park that the POD's go from.

I think Monorail would be the best solution instead since it can carry more people between Airport Terminals and other areas, so it is more efficient and also faster. Then have one of the train line have station at the NAIA/MIA terminal, even just one since monorail would connect the 4 terminals instead.

Hi Daniel, new Irish subscriber here in Manchester U.K. - while I’ve seen these Heathrow pods before, aside from Dublin Airport, I can’t see why these pods can’t be used for getting from Dublin Port’s Stena & Irish Ferries passenger terminals at North Wall into Dublin City Centre - currently, we don’t even have the LUAS trams going all the way to the Port (only as far as the Gibson Hotel/02 Arena) and not even DART Underground - arriving off the ferry from Holyhead on SailRail, we usually have a lot of luggage, so this would be an ideal solution for us rather than the cramped buses they use, as there is not even taxis operating to/from the port
