Default Wafted from paradise to Luton Airport

In message , at 22:16:08 on Sun, 11
Oct 2009, " remarked:
Luton Airport is the worst of any of them.

In some ways it's pretty bad - but "worst" is a bit of a stretch.

No proper connection from the station to the airport terminals
themselves,

There's a bus every ten minutes, which is better than some other
airports (eg Bristol and East Midlands).


But there is no direct rail connection, which does not apply in the
case of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, City or even Southampton.


If there's no direct rail connection at East Midlands Parkway, there's
also none at Luton Airport Parkway.

And the queues to the busses at Luton Airport Parkway can be
riduculous.


Which is kind of where I came in: replacing the FTRs with the smaller
(well they seem smaller) Citaros.
