In a track guided gas cushion vehicle two longitudinally spaced pairs of cushion forming pads are provided on sides of the vehicle which embrace a rectangular-section track. The cushions of these pairs of pads co-operate with upper portions of the track sides to counteract lateral and yawing movements of the vehicle, due for example to cross winds. A further pair of cushion forming pads is provided on the vehicle sides, below the other pairs of pads, so that their cushions co-operate with lower portions of the track sides, and towards the vehicle rear, to counteract rolling moments exerted on the vehicle. Cushion forming pads to support the vehicle perform substantially no roll stabilizing function so as to be minimally perturbed by forces exerting yawing or rolling moments on the vehicle. Preferably the vehicle is propelled by a single sided linear induction motor.
