Does that Luton figure include the wait for the bus and the bus ride to the station? How frequent are the buses, can they cope with plane loads of people at the same time? howabout time at security or the walk from the gate to the bus is that included?
Yes I put in the terminal as the terminal is classed as a railway station by the National Rail Enquiries so you can buy a ticket to the terminal. From Luton Airport Parkway the quickest time is 1 hour 5 minutes which is quicker than from Southend. Busses run every 10 minutes and they use high capacity bendy coaches now which takes around 5 minutes between terminal and station. Photo here if you are interested.
