Quote: "No doubt about it Luton could do with a railway station by the terminal but 2.3 million people still used it in 2011. With a journey time as little as 22 minutes non-stop Luton is looking to increase the frequency of these non stop trains."
One-stop might be better: West Hampstead. It has a large catchment area, potentially linking up areas east, west and south west of London on the new "Overground" system, and the Underground.
Indeed if some of the fast trains on the Chiltern, East Midlands, Thameslink and Metropolitan lines also stopped there, West Hampstead could be a very useful hub/interchange, and not just in relation to access to/from LTN (or LGW).
To come back on-thread (in part), it would be the equivelant of the Stansted express stopping at Tottenham.
