EAST MIDLANDS Railway has launched its Luton Airport Express services between London St Pancras International and Luton Airport Parkway stations, linking up with the recently introduced DART electric shuttle service taking passengers for the airport to and from the railway station.
The service operates every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday, with regular services also operating on Sunday. The journey between London and Luton Airport Parkway takes about half an hour, while the transfer between Luton Airport Parkway and Luton Airport by the DART shuttle takes about four minutes, providing a quick and direct link between the trains and airport.
London Luton is one of the UK’s busiest airports, carrying more than 13 million leisure and business passengers in 2022 and serving more than 140 destinations in Europe, North Africa and Asia.
EMR commercial director Simon Pready said: “EMR’s Luton Airport Express will provide customers travelling from the capital and the south a convenient, fast and environmentally friendly way to get to the airport. With a trip taking as little as 32 minutes and costing from just £10, it’s a great option.
“Along with the introduction of DART, the Luton Airport Express represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the town and we are proud to be part of such an environmentally and economically important project.”
