Just missed the last train!

April is here and I was getting all excited about being able to go up and down the Palm on the monorail. Glide across the ocean to the Atlantis and then put my car up for sale!

Unfortunately the project has been delayed for a few more months whilst more 'testing' is done. My guess is that the monorail is fine, the trains are fine but there is absolutely no chance of any of us boarding one because the stations are no where near close to being ready. You will need a full set of clampons to scale the station walls or a very good trampolene.
These trains are not manned and are run by computers and have been in action most of this year. No matter what time you go on to the Palm the trains are operational so it will not be long before we are all mobile.
I will hold off before selling the car but this piece of infrastructure is going to make a huge difference to the Palm Jumeira giving it another layer of credibility and help make The Palm a special place to visit.
