AeroTrain service begins at Washington Dulles International Airport - Some A and B gates get re-lettering
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) - January 26, 2010 - The AeroTrain begins operation today and connects gates A, B, C and the main terminal. The AeroTrain, is a train (as the name implies) that runs underground at speeds up to 42 miles an hour to rapidly transport travelers to and from their gates at Dulles International Airport. The trains have mainly standing room, but they do have a few seats. Passengers board the AeroTrain once they are through security. Signage is in place for guidance. Unfortunately, passengers traveling out of the D gates or international arriving passengers must still ride the old connecting shuttle buses. According to the route map, passengers going to the C gates must catch the AeroTrain at a station at the site of future gates and take a moving walkway back to the C gates.
Some of the Dulles B gates have been re-lettered as A gates. The gates are located in the same physical location, but have new letters (the letter A): Gates B14 through B32 are now A14 through A32. The other A and B gate's numbers and letters are unchanged.
Additional information and the route map for the new Dulles AeroTrain can be found on the Dulles Interational Airport (IAD) web site: http://www.metwashairports.com/dulles/flight_information_3/maps/aerotrain_4
