A new rail connection will run directly to the terminal London Luton Airport. The 2,2km line will replace the airport’s current bus shuttle service and will go to the existing Luton Airport Parkway station.
The station is due to open by the end of 2020 and passengers should be able to travel between the airport and London in under half an hour.
Current journeys from London to the Parkway station take at least 20 minutes and passengers then have to wait for a shuttle bus which takes at least a further ten minutes.
The work is part of a major redevelopment of the airport that also includes improvements to surrounding roads and layout of the terminal.
