Has anyone read this from the front page of SCUK.

I've got to be getting this wrong, there is going to be a new 500 metre long hand rail. Whistler there was a 12 meter hand rail (could be longer) and I think MK had ago at the world record of 50 meters I think it was, but 500 meters!!!

Yeah I found that kind of funny to, considering the longest rail record is ~70m.

500 sounds completly pointless and expensive to me.

I think half way down it I would have to get a paper out and start reading until the end of the rail.

After about 100m you will probably have ground a nice little track in your base to continue along like a monorail.
