Gatwick monorail upgrade moves a step closer
23.10.09
Gatwick Airport's inter-terminal monorail trains have been removed and are to be scrapped after 21 years of carrying millions of passengers between the airports two terminals. The six carriages, which carried passengers between the airports North and South terminals, have been lifted by a heavy crane on to lorries to begin their final journey to a recycling plant in Berkshire.
The trains are being replaced as part of a £45 million project to improve 'the passenger experience'. A bus replacement service is in place while work is underway on the new monorail service, which will be introduced from April next year with the entire system fully operation by August 2010.
