Waverail promises the return of the slip-coach?

Exciting news from Upside-down Land

I thought you may be amused by this proposal that has been suggested to relieve Sydney's public transport problems.

Called Waverail it seems to operate on the following principles (click on the image to see the animated version)...


Some obvious questions appear to have been overlooked:

If you get on at one station and want to get off at the next, how are you supposed to get from one end of the train to the other in time?

How are you supposed to read your free newspaper in the morning when you have to keep moving forward to avoid being left behind?

A splendid effort none the less and one that will no doubt attract the interest of transport planners in our own dear DfT.

Walking down the train to get off is one thing. Walking up the train to stay on will be more of a problem. #WaveRail
