London Heathrow
A new automated people-mover opened in March 2008 as a part of the Heathrow new terminal T5. The so-called Tracked Transit System (TTS) connects the main building (T5A) with T5A satellite terminal; a further extension to T5C satellite (under construction) is expected in 2011. The 600 m track is totally underground (2 parallel single track tunnels).
