16 mins from St Pancras to Luton Airport Parkway!

I live in Wellingborough and have the misfortune of being a regular user of East Midland Trains.

Im not sure if they attached a rocket to the back of our train this evening, but we did St Pancras to Luton Airport Parkway in 16 minutes! Not bad for a non airport express train! On the downside we were sat at the station for 6 mins as we arrived that early!

Is nearly as fast as the Heathrow Express! It's not a shame for me (as I want to get home from London as quickly as possible), but for other users that EMT only serve the station once an hour in each direction! On the positive side you don't have to pay a premium airport express ticket price!

Even though EMT operate the route non-stop, its a shame their timings are not consistent on the timetable, some are times at 20-22 mins and others up to 30 mins!
