Dart information.

Key facts and figures:
  • Contractor: Doppelmayr Cable Car UK Limited
  • System type: Cable Liner Double Shuttle
  • Line: 2 independent tracks, each covering a length of 1,955m
  • Number of trains: 2 trains, each consisting of 4 cars
  • Capacity per train: 170 passengers
  • Transport capacity: 2,720 passengers per hour and direction
  • Installation to commence in autumn 2019
  • Public service from April 2021
  • Operating agreement for 5 years + option of another 5 years
With each carriage having a strange average of 42.5 passengers they must be somewhat short to allow for tight turns. I also wonder how many seats will be provided for those 170 passengers? The video seems to show a few inward facing seats per carriage.
