The airport's much-anticipated £290m 1.25-mile shuttle service to the rail station will cost passengers £4.90 a trip. Seven years in the making, Luton airports long-anticipated light rail link finally opens to passengers next week a swift connection that has, somewhat unfairly, been billed as the most expensive train in Britain. As airport bosses promised, the gleaming new £290m Dart shuttle from train to airport is a significant upgrade: accessed straight out of Luton Parkway railway station and replacing the bus that was needed between trains and the airport terminal. It brings the airport to within about a half hours total journey from central London on the fastest trains.
