[ExI] Personal Rapid Transit at Heathrow

[Emlyn]

Very sci-fi: Heathrow Airport in the UK is getting a PRT system.

There are great animations here, and some real footage of the system
on a test track. Also, the construction is underway, and you can see
some of that.

They clearly have plans to expand it. I can't find where I read this,
but somewhere it says that they are intending to expand the system
eventually to go to the rental car facilities and to nearby hotels.
