What are the things that go between the terminals at the Birmingham/Gatwick/Heathrow/Luton/Stansted airports called?
We currently have them at:
• Birmingham Airport (Terminal - Railway Station)
• Gatwick Airport (South Terminal - North Terminal)
• Heathrow Airport (Terminal 5A - Terminal 5B - Terminal 5C)
• Luton Airport (Terminal - Railway Station) ***not yet open***
• Stansted Airport (Terminal A - Terminal B - Terminal C)
Are they trains? Are they monorails? Are they something else?
Many people call them monorails but i am not sure if that is correct either. There are two types of monorails (one that has a track above the monorail and one that has a track below the monorail) but looking further in to it the airport ones do not seem to fit the definition of a monorail either. They are not trains though as they do not have ordinary train wheels or run on a normal train track.
Does anyone have any idea what exactly these things are and the correct name for them?
