I think the press are a little ahead of the 2pm news announcement, the story has already leaked out!

They intend to spend £200 million on a driver-less automated light railway people mover between Luton Airport Parkway Station and the Airport, and hope for it to be opened by late 2020.

It looks like the council will be funding this and fares will be included in rail tickets.

The planning application is hoped to be submitted by the Autumn, and work commencing in 2017.

In one article it mentions three stops on the 1.4 mile rail system. So makes me wonder if it will stop at the present mid-stay car park.



Take your pick, from whichever news outlet, is covering the story!
