  • Chester Zoo Monorail in England. This monorail won't win any speed or beauty contests but the small track winding through the zoo is quite pretty and minimalistic! The monorail is a perfect speed for watching animals from this unique aerial view.
    Unfortunately the monorail was shut down in 2019. I'm glad I had the chance to ride and film it when it was running.

    I love zoos, one of the best one I saw was the Singapore Zoo. Chester looks very good too :) I cant wait to take the boys.

      I wish all zoos had trains, either monorails or steam trains!

    Awesome vid of monorail can't understand why their not used in the suburbs( light mini monorails).can be cost efficient if kept small and basic like zoos.

      This particular monorail only runs at 15-20 mph. It wouldn't work as real transportation. Unfortunately the Chester Zoo Monorail has been shut down and removed.

      @@Luke_Starkenburg so sad to hear that.a council should innovate on that principle design and through modern technology principles could achieve something.a good high school project for kids to nut out and build models and CAD computer 3D simulations ,drawings,etc. where's the desire and innovative practices gone these days.

      Laziness, inertia and donor oligarch politics (the donors want tax cuts and no public spending on infrastructure, because "socialism"). Also total lack of vision on the part of politicians. In Australia, the iconic Sidney Monorail was discontinued a few years ago, absolute madness. Monorail technology is old and tested, it's cheap, easy to install, can be automated and can run frequently. There are examples at airports and campuses (e.g. the H-Bahn, or "hanging rail", in Dortmund). There should be monorails in the suburbs connecting the suburbs to city centres and railway networks, the citizens should make their voices heard and demand better public transport.

    It's really a "sky train" since it uses two rails to ride on unlike a true monorail.

    Do my eyes deceive me??
    Is this monorail running on twin track??
    Or is the train running along the insides of the two tracks, in stead of the more usual outsides of a single track??

      bushyconn They can't be running inside because of all the cross bracing. Have a look at 5:25.
