Is the Monorail there again this year?

[the beadle]

I can't find a map of the monorail stations this year, does this mean it's been taken down like they threatened?

[rinzeanne]

People were too annoyed by seeing the bloody thing everywhere. You couldn't make a selfie without the monorail being on it.

That's why in 2015 for the first time ever they will open an underground with stations calling at the John Peel stage (west station), The Other Stage (central, that's why the new stage was designed) and at Block 9 (South east station, entrance in the Block 9 building).

Rumour is that the Monorail will be going around the big fence, which makes it more easy to go from Gate A to D.

The zip wire thing would be beyond amazing and probably doable somewhere on site

[phil the shrew]

Don't know about the underground timetable, but they need to sort out the overground service first

Despite waiting for ages not a single train stopped on the railway line last year. Bloody South West trains seemed to be using the line for transporting sewerage using tractors instead

I'd love it to rapidly get from The Park to West Holts. Unfortunately pesky physics means that won't work!

a very old joke now, but it comes from this.

Rather amusingly, it's been taken as true by a number of places including at least one UK national newspaper.

Yeah tis pretty crazy how the ticket price has inflated over the last 10 years or so.

You do get a lot of bang for your buck, but personally I would be happier with less bang and more buck.

If the Monorail is banging, I'd be getting off pronto!
