Wouldn't fancy the Replacement Balloon Service at weekends much

‘Is there a chance the wings could bend?’

 

[Bozza]

Take a plane and tether it to the ground so it can only move in one direction. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[maltaseagull]

How do you get back?

Also, not much use for international travel.

It's that kind of negativity which keeps us living in caves...







...oh.

 

[Grombleton]

That's more of a Shelbyville idea.

 

[Swansman]

Completely useless. I like it.

 

[Dr Q]

So it's a plane, tethered to a track like a train ....... therefore why not just use say, a train?

Erm because it looks COOL

 

[Seasidesage]

Yeah I really want one of them flying over my house at 3am full of vomiting students...

 

[Seasidesage]

Also how does it go up and down hills? Hmm....

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

You wait for ages, then two come along !!!

Cuttings obviously.

The tether is extendable to enable the flying train to rise above the hills to the side of the cutting.

This is the future and we should all be demanding that Johnson ensures that the UK is at the forefront of this groundbreaking technology.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

It’ll never take off.

 

[VAL1850]

What about the ones coming the other way??

That's so boring. I wanted it to lurch violently towards the ground and then suddenly jerk back up like running along with a kite...

Can we also provide parachutes for fare dodgers?

Early leavers will still find ways to 'beat the queues'

As one caterpillar said to another as a butterfly flew past.
You will never get me up in one of those things.

I'm all for embracing future transportation, but I don't really get the point of a flying train, such as this. The whole point about flying cars is that you can still go wherever you like and you are relieving pressure off a congested road network on the ground. With this proposed solution, you need to build a whole new infrastructure that runs on fixed routes – with specific pickup/drop-off points – to replace something that is already there (i.e. the rail network).
