Extra Heathrow peoplemover cars to be delivered from September | Metro Report International | Railway Gazette International

"The new vehicles will be used to augment the existing fleet of technically similar cars supplied for the 700 m long airside Terminal 5 Transit route by Bombardier Transportation when Terminal 5 opened in 2008."
