Travelling to Luton Airport
I read the posts about traffic problems with rising concern. We would like to use Luton Airport but it seems that between the Airport and the Council, no one seems to want to consider things from the passengers point of view.
The train doesn't actually take you to the Airport terminal.
Why not? Is there no way that it could be extended?
Buses and taxis have to fight for the same road space as workers at the airport and passenger traffic, as no sensible alternative public transport exists. If we try and park off airport, we still have to get to the Terminal!!
The road layout seems intended to cause maximum problems at every point. One breakdown and it all jams.
Is there no alternative additional route for an access road, say just for workers that doesn't need to be at the front of the terminal? There seems to be quite a few service roads for airline office staff etc, but they all feed into one choke point at the roundabout.
Roadworks seem never ending, always something either on the M1 or on the roads to the Airport.
Don't you want passengers?
I'd suggest a bus priority lane, but then the Council will want different coloured tarmac and cone it off for years whilst it's done, then decide they don't like the colour!! That's where you might have 2 lanes!!
Please, is it possible to make the decision makers work together and think things through from the point of who wants to use the airport, not how much can be extracted from us?
Luton is becoming the Ryanair of airports.
