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.
