In actual fact, planning is already under way for a light rail link between Luton Parkway and a station at LTN itself. The difference is that LTN already has a passenger throughput several times greater than LBA. That and the fact the nearby rail line is the Midland Main Line with connections to the Midlands, London and South East England makes the project economics far more attractive.
