Luton Airport - Train Services

Train
There isn't actually a train station at Luton Airport. The nearest station is Luton Airport Parkway which is just under 1 mile from the airport. A free shuttle bus service runs between the airport and the station to allow passengers to easily connect between the two in a seamless fashion. Expect the ride to take 5-10 minutes. The bus stops at Bay 1 outside the terminal building.
This service is dubbed the "Luton Airport Express" buses as they provide a door to door service into London in around 45 minutes in conjunction with the Luton Express Train service.
They are single-deck buses that have a good luggage capacity and transport up to 50 passengers. These buses are also wheelchair accessible. The service operates up to 11 time per hour at peak times and has a service though the night time.

Note: Do not confuse Luton Airport Parkway with Luton rail Station, they are two separate stations.
