It is a sad state of affairs that due to a lack of investment in rolling stock and longer EM trains that many stations on the route will see a reduction in service and direct services removed from the timetable.

When Parkway opened in 1999 it opened with 9 trains an hour to London. At the moment it is 7 as 2 slow trains an hour now start and end at St Albans. This is not really a bad thing as the slow trains used to depart just before the semi fast with most passengers leaping on the first train to arrive only to be overtaken a short while later.

Luton has gained a new fleet of 8 and 12 car trains and an overnight service of 2 train an hour except on one night of the week at weekends so it isn't all bad news but the airport will be very disappointed at the proposal.

By following the links in the document individuals and airports for that matter have the opportunity to comment on the key questions asked but as the airport knows with its own consultations it is already probably a done deal.
