All change for bus services from airport to capital - Business - Luton Today
Just had a quick look at the timetable. Coaches run through the night and from 03:30 they run every 10 minutes from London.
Bus operator Arriva says it is “extremely disappointed” after losing the contract to run bus services from Luton Airport into London.
The Green Line 757 service has run on the route for more than 30 years, but will no longer include the airport from May 1.
A new National Express service will now run between the airport and the capital, but will not serve Luton town centre.
The company says its new A1 service will mean “faster journey times, more frequent services, and more seats available at peak times”. There will be coaches every 10 minutes at peak times, with 150 services to and from the airport every day.
Coaches will have free WiFi, power sockets and business-class legroom
A spokesman for London Luton Airport Operations Ltd (LLAOL) said such services were regularly reviewed. Other bus services to Luton town centre were available, he added.
A National Express spokesman said: “Our new A1 service is entirely dedicated to Luton Airport and is designed in a way that will best serve our airport customers. In providing this bespoke service we aim to improve Luton Airport’s connectivity and consolidate its reputation as a leading UK airport.”
Paul Adcock, managing director for Arriva’s Shires region, said: “At the moment we can confirm that a service between Luton town centre and London will continue to operate. There is likely to be a change to the timetable, and further updates will be available in the next few days.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for the support.”
