The Luton DART, a shuttle railway linking London Luton Airport to the nearby railway station has welcomed its one-millionth passenger on board, just 147 days after opening.
The automated Direct Air-Rail Transit system, which carries travellers between Luton Airport Parkway Station and the airport terminal in under four minutes, opened on 27th March 2023 – although a couple of years later than planned.
The Luton DART enables a total journey time from the capital of just 32 minutes when passengers combine it with the Luton Airport Express fast train service out of London St Pancras.
Councillor Javeria Hussain, Chair of Luton Rising, the Luton Council-owned company that owns the airport, and built the Luton DART said: “London Luton Airport is now operating at close to the passenger levels seen before the pandemic so it’s no surprise to see the Luton DART performing so well.”
