Well I think the Air Rail link is very exciting and will go a long way to improve the airports reputation and what passengers who arrive by rail have been screaming out for!
The announcement of the new contractors, just confirms things are progressing and not a pipe dream.
It will make the airport comparable to the North Terminal at Gatwick where you take the transit to the station located at the South Terminal.
I don't quite understand all the negativity with regards to this, and why people are saying it should be more ambitious?!
Luton tax payers benefit very nicely from the airport, with apparently £26 million going into the 2016/17 pot!

The loan is only being guaranteed by the council, but fully paid for by the airport! It was the council that has awarded short term leaseholds for the airport management and of course while they continue to own the airport, they are the only realistic people who can fund long term expensive projects!
