So all you guys suggesting we just scrap the bus service with just a sign at the airport exit sating "Station that way", with an arrow and footpath for them to use and vice-versa getting to the airport from the Station.
I think there needs to be some sort of smooth, automated and seamless transportation system to take people up to the airport.
I think a cable car is the perfect option and probably the most cost effective too. It could transport passengers over the Vauxhall factor, up the hill and over the westerly apron and drop them off into the terminal. The journey would probably take no more than 4-5 mins.
This is surely a plan that could be jointly funded between Luton Borough Council, Network Rail and Abertis. The cable cars would be future proof, and allow for growth by adding additional gondolas over time, as it got busier.
A project like this would probably only cost several million, and because the cable cars are gliding about 100m above the town and airport, it is not going to get in anyones way, only require several pylons along the route.
