Indeed so. There was a flurry of publicity in the media only a few
days ago.

Two steps, one is a limited existing terminal expansion for 2007, the
second - seperate step and seperate planning application - will be for
a major new south terminal and south runway about 900 m south of the
existing facility and to operate in parallel with it and open for 2012.
Seems a tight timescale to me as there will be lots of objections to
it.

Presumably it is the latter scheme is / may have some other kind of
transit link to LAP.

It will need something as they are planning to jump from the present
54,000 movements p.a. to 234,000.



Poor Luton. Already a deeply unattractive town, these developments
can only serve to make it an even worse place to live and/or work.
