Last updated 8 March 2003 DCC, new people-mover linking Birmingham Airport and railway stationPhotograph taken on: 18 June 2002. (Larger image) The Air Rail Link under construction between Birmingham International railway station and the pasenger terminal of Birmingham International Airport. The new system seems to be DCC (Doppelmayr Cable Car), a rope-driven sort of system. Two vehicles were "hidden" in the rear of the parking space. The girders of the former maglev system, the worldly-famous one but was unfortunately scrapped because of reliability problems, seems to be reused.
