You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Subway''' (formerly known as the '''inter-terminal train''') is the older of the two separate inter-terminal [[people mover]]s operating at [[George Bush Intercontinental Airport]] (IAH) in [[Houston, Texas]]. Opened in 1969 along with the airport, the train system was replaced in 1981 with the current [[WEDway]] system, built by WED Transportation Systems, a division of what is now known as [[Walt Disney Imagineering]]. The Subway serves approximately 240,000 passengers per month, for a yearly ridership averaging 2.9 million.<ref name="HAirportInfo">((cite web |title=IAH Gaining Ground on Replacing Subway Train |url=https://www.fly2houston.com/newsroom/articles/iah-gaining-ground-replacing-subway-train/ |publisher=Houston Airport System |accessdate=7 May 2020 |date=18 April 2019))</ref> It is built [[Underground railway system|underground]] and serves [[landside]] traffic, unlike the newer [[Skyway (George Bush Intercontinental Airport)|Skyway]], which is [[Elevated railway line|elevated]] and operates [[Airside (airport)|airside]].

The Subway is notable as the only WEDway people mover built by the [[Walt Disney Company]] outside of a [[List of assets owned by The Walt Disney Company|Disney property]]. It uses much of the mechanical technology used by the [[PeopleMover (Magic Kingdom)|PeopleMover]], an attraction in the [[Magic Kingdom]]'s [[Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)|Tomorrowland]]. The design permits the trains to make tight corners that are necessary along portions of the basement route. Like their Disney counterparts, the trains are completely unpowered, relying on [[linear induction motor]]s in the track for propulsion.<ref name="WedWaySpecs">((cite journal |last1=Turner |first1=D. B. |last2=Wolf |first2=W. L. |title=Houston WEDway PeopleMover control and propulsion system |journal=32nd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference |date=1982 |pages=407–419 |doi=10.1109/VTC.1982.1623051 |s2cid=21475949 |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1623051))</ref> [[Platform screen doors]] at each station have a special mechanism unlocking the trains' doors, and on-train station announcements and audible warning messages are provided by a trackside [[audio system]] through openings in the tops of the vehicle car-bodies.

Eight three-car trains are used on the system, of which six operate at any single time with three-minute [[headway]]s at speeds of up to ((convert|15|mph|kph)). They stop at eight stations in a [[Circle route|circuit]] serving every terminal and the Houston Airport Hotel, for a round-trip time of 18 minutes.<ref name="TribuneArt">((cite news |last1=McKenna |first1=Bonnie |title=All aboard for a trip on the underground train |url=https://www.ourtribune.com/2-uncategorised/10447-all-aboard-for-a-trip-on-the-underground-train.html |accessdate=7 May 2020 |work=The Tribune |date=29 May 2007))</ref> The system is currently maintained and operated by JBT Aerotech.

[[Houston Airport System]], the owner of the airport, is conducting preliminary studies of potential new systems to replace the Subway, as both it and major airlines serving the airport have determined that the cost of operating and maintaining the system is no longer viable.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.houstontx.gov/cip/12cipadopt/has.pdf | title=2012-2016 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN | work=City of Houston - Aviation Department | accessdate=April 24, 2015))</ref>
