MonoMetro 2012

MonoMetro beam column and station structure is a modularised flexible system designed for rapid erection and to lower the cost of
infrastrcture to just 60% of the cost of building a tramway. This includes all track beams and stations, planning costs professional costs Acts of Parliament, power supply costs and training of staff. Costs of trains is excluded.

MonoMetro is designed to relieve congestion in the over crowded urban streetscape and was specially designed as a 270Km New Regional Metro for the future of London. The new MonoMetro network does not compete with the routes of the old Underground system. It will relieve overcrowding in the central area allowing passengers to very quickly get to their work and return home, gaining time to enjoy as enhanced quality of lifestyle. MonoMetro will reduce transit times with longer distances between stations where there are many existing Underground railway stations.

MonoMetro offers a slightly longer 12 minute journey between Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf than Cropssrail's projected seven minutes. However MonoMetro will stop at four intermediate stations along the Commercial Road. These stations will act as redevelopment generators along a route that has never benefitted from major infrastructure. This leads to an integrated urban development business plan that supports the construction of MonoMetro. Crossrail is a burden on taxpayers having to pay for years of tunnelling for a system that pops up out of nowhere with no stations between Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf.

MonoMetro is built by an established railway manufacturer with a history dating back to 1853... that is ten years before the Underground openned its first route.
MonoMetro is a railway enjoying all the technical advantages of an established industry. The MonoMetro cars are built from the latest lighteight composites conferring low energy use like Boeing's Dreamliner and the trains are sealed form the extrenal environment protecting occupants from gas or chemical terrorism. The columns have been specially designed with unusual construction ...they are immensely strong with longitudinal aerodynamic profiling to help withstand damage from bomb blast between columns. A single column can only be demolished with high explosive tightly packed directly around the column base. High visibility gives MonoMetro an enhanced level of security from such actions. A dirty bomb exploded at an underground interchange station would spread chaos and lethal effect through railway tunnels across a broad area of a major city.

In the opinion of some of the best mechanical engineers in the UK, Germany and North America, MonoMetro is the most advanced urban transport system availible.

Although designed for London, MonoMetro is now fully funded for construction of a major system. This will be built in the Saudi Arabian Holy City of Makkah to transport pligrims to and from the Great Mosque. The first line will open in readiness for the annual Hajj pilgrimmage in January 2012.

MonoMetro Limited has a healthy order book and two further systems are being planned, a second Saudi system and a system in Cairo Egypt. Further inquiries are flooding in from cities on all five continents with many transport consultants and representatives of city authorites waiting to visit the demonstration prototype.

The prototype is scheduled to begin operation at the end of 2009 and manufacture of the modular system for completing the Makkah system will be stepped up from 2008

A second factory will be located in the Middle East for increased manufacturing output of trains. The advanced linear motor powered vector bifurcation bogies will be manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Never mind London, we REALLY need this in Bristol, you've already got the Underground.

[garethpearce]

You can have MonoMetro ib Bristol... Brunel would be proud of it! Its a lot cheaper than a Tram and quicker to install!

[1MrTrap1]

will this happen? i hope it does its a great idea.

[SnappyPenguins]

I think this would be a brilliant idea for London. It would give another option for transport around the city, and would hopefully leave other services, especially the tube system, less congested. As long as it can be afforded, I'd give this the go-ahead!

It's almost 2012 now, but no signs of such thing in London, but idea looks pretty not bad.

[davgosan]

¿How much is the cost per km with and without maglev technology...what is the velocity? ¿which is the distance between access stations?

[XboxKeen101]

A great idea uses very litte space comparitively cheap to install and a real answer to congestion in central london. jt

[SlyManPX]

This is probably the coolest form of transport that you could get on with an oyster card!

[rimor51]

This looks awesome, I wish we had better public transit in the U.S. Although, I couldn't help but wonder, what are the side doors on each end of the vehicle for? lol Are the passengers supposed to jump out incase the train stalled?
