Past concourse E

what happens if you stay on a train that says it is going out of service? Where does the train go? If its a storage area, are you trapped haha? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.188.123 (talk) 08:15, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually a good question, as when i rode it i didnt bother to see where the train went. does it shuttle back to the beginning, go on a loop, stop?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

there is a switchback used beyond E, where trains can be moved to the garage or switch back, When F opened, there is another switchback there. There are people who taped themselves on the train going through the switchbacks, however, its noted that you shouldnt do that and there is a risk of trouble.

Blocking the door

I seem to remember you get a severe telling off from the automated voice if you block the door while it is closing: "Warning! YOU are blocking the door and delaying other passengers!" Can anyone remember the exact wording? --Jamesedmo (talk) 15:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

There is a voice line for those, the messages are "Something is blocking the doors. Please, move away from the doors" (In platform)

"Someone is blocking the doors. Please move away from the doors" (in train) Gradientgamer (talk) 16:51, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

In between 1988-1990 to 1994, the announcement says, "ATTENTION ! The doors are ready to close. *BEE DO BEEP*" and when the doors starts closing the announcement shouts, "STOP ! DO NOT ENTER ! *BEE DO BEEP* and when someone blocks the doors, the announcement says in a loud booming voice, "CLEAR OF THE DOORS YOU ARE DELAYING THE TRAIN ! STOP ! DO NOT ENTER !" I have a link of this announcement at 1:10, and you can hear the famous robot voice closely. You can also hear carefully in a 1990 video on YouTube at 0:33.

In 1996-2013/15 it actually says "Something is blocking the door. Please move AWAY from the door." not "Someone is blocking the doors. Please move away from the doors."

And from 2015 to current/present, the announcement says the same words but different male voice. 2A02:8428:DA65:E001:AC04:BB34:75C4:89B4 (talk) 21:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Frequency

What is the frequency/period of the train? How many trains sets are there? What is the capacity of single set? How long takes to travel from terminal T to terminal E? --95.132.81.59 (talk) 11:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Infobox width

Does the infobox need to be the width it is? I made an edit to drop it down the regular width but the edit was undone. Stating that it breaks the map. I've looked between the two edits and can't see how the infobox can be affecting the image of the map. Is there something I'm missing? --Tangerineduel (talk) 12:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion

The lead section cites a stat from the year 2002, do we not have anything more recent than that? 2600:1700:FDF1:1FC0:ED24:5CEB:A934:9A13 (talk) 02:39, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

There is an anonymous user disrupting this page

Please warn 86.67.39.248 (talk) as they have disrupted this page repeatedly. Edgar Searle (talk) 00:31, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Edgar, how do you know the annonymous user is male ("he") and not female ("she")? I ask because you said "as he is disrupting this page over and over and over again" rather than "as she is disrupting this page over and over and over again." --Fandelasketchup (talk) 21:24, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I changed to "they are" anyways. Edgar Searle (talk) 01:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Confusion over spellings

Since the Plane Train operates in an American airport (Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia), why does the article use the British form "centre" rather than the correct American form "center" when referring to "(...) the car rental centre (...)"? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 17:43, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

C-100 Misconception

For a long time, according to this page, it is believed that the system uses solely CX-100/Innovia APM-100 vehicles and replaced all of original C-100 vehicles. However, Watching videos of the system taken around 2016 - present, there is proof that C-100's are still used in the fleet currently, The reason its hard to tell them apart (atleast in my research) is one of few things: 1. C-100's are refurbished with AC fans and LCD signs, making it hard to tell apart from a CX-100. 2. They can be coupled together with a CX-100/APM-100, meaning a 4-car train can have a mix of CX-100/APM-100 and C-100's. This same scenario can be found in Denver and Stansted Airports aswell.

There is a way to tell the difference, however, and it involves paying attention to detail (interior). One of the ways is the front seating. In the APM-100, the front seating is a long padded bar while the C-100 has "3 seats" with handlebars on them.

My suggestion for the article is to mention that C-100's still are currently used on the fleet.

If anyone needs clarification or has questions, feel free to reply. I haven't edited the fleet part of the article yet because I do not know how many C-100's are used. Gradientgamer (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

The plane train no longer uses NATO phonetic alphabet

Just flew through ATL a few weeks ago after coming home, they've recently updated it to be Atlanta themed concourses.

I know for a fact I heard "A as in Atlanta" and "B as in Braves". Does anyone have a source for the full list? I can grab it next time I'm there if not. 2620:15C:A0:200:14AC:16D8:8A2D:6B98 (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I was in the airport last week and I noticed they do not use the NATO alphabet anymore (they used to with the exception of "D as in David". This time they had "B as in Burgers" and "A as in Atlanta" and "C as in Coffee which you can get at any concourse". gujamin (talk) 18:30, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Definitions

Since the vehicles use rubber tires, would this be an example of BRT? Also, are these autonomous vehicles or are they remote-operated manually? gujamin (talk) 18:18, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
