I hope these jobs will go primarily to Lutonians because tackling unemployment within Luton is the best way to alleviate poverty.

A bigger airport means more money for the city, more visitors, more homeless, more jobs, bigger traffic jam, there will be more of everything. ! There is already a shortage of parking spaces and houses to live in in the city.

Just don't mention the climate.

Growing an airport is not the way forward because flights will have to reduce nationally (and globally) to tackle climate change. The statements around "sustainability" are just not true. How can burning millions of tonnes of fuel be "sustainable", people say we can switch to SAF but it produces the same amount of CO2 as Jet A-1 fossil fuel. If Luton Council's objective is to grow the airport, increase flights and produce pollution and emissions that harm others in the country and beyond, that is reprehensible.

Fantastic video, LLA needs to expand to help with fighting all those issues and boost the economy to help give Lutoners a fighting chance against the UK issues...worst of the recession, cost of living etc.

Finally it’s now in service.

Very fancy video, but I want information on how to actualy get to the shuttle from the station and where to get dropped off at the Parkway station. Or how to find it at the airport. The important stuff. Perhaps I should make my own video.

Are these still going to happen on the 8th, 13th, 15th or 18th? And what date was this?

we can build are own thing's now are brexit has got done.

What a waste of money. Could've built a proper train for about ⅔ the money, and that would've meant that if you needed more or replacement rolling stock you could have got it from anywhere in the world - instead of only from one Spanish and one French manufacturer that makes this sort of glorified bus.

Good video clip. How long is it? In Imperial if possible.

looks good, shame the cost of travel is being charged at the point of delivery and not included in the cost of airport & railway usage

all that for 1mile and a fiver one way. What the debt level now?

shame they didn’t build a line eastwards to Stevenage to link up with the East Coast Main Line

What an irresponsible waste of money the airport or the council do not have, Luton airport is now seen as a failing cash cow for which the residents of Luton will ultimately suffer. No money for important things like filling in potholes in the roads.

Do you know when it is to be completed this year (2023).

I cant wait for the Luton DART to open this year (2023).

When is the Luton DART (Direct-Air-Rail-Transit) due to open. As we are in 2023.

wasted so much money coudlve acc improved luton with

no one flies from luton exept crackheads

I love how bitter and twisted LTNMan is about this. So irate that he keeps repeating his boring bile over and over and over again. You live in a town that's a 100% dump and where the British people have no self respect or respect for each other. Cry more. You helped create the town you live in. This is better than you people deserve.

No mention that the project has to date cost the council taxpayer £281m but has been independently valued at only £77m with the rest being written off. The best bit is that those that have paid for it won’t actually use it.

I wonder how much over budget and over due was like all luton council projects.

I'm pleased that Luton Airport is getting a link to the main railway station, but why revert to a technology that was generally abandoned in the early part of the 20th Century? Who else uses cable haulage now? I would be interested to see the quotations that were received for the construction of this system and how they compare with tried and tested systems used in most other airports around the world. I would guess that a single failure could bring the entire system to a standstill, whereas conventional electrically powered vehicles could still be used on the parallel line. We shall see.

We need more rail projects in every part of the country. This is a great small step in the right direction on a local scale, but our wider dependence on cars cannot be allowed to continue. The current rail strikes show a fundamental problem with the way the railway is treated in this country, which ultimately stems from the government wanting to crush the rail industry (and they've more or less succeeded) so that the automotive industry can exponentially grow, completely unchallenged. Our government has no regard for the good of the people, they only pursue lining their own pockets with bribes from huge corporations.

So pleased this has been built.

When your dirty company is it’s only fan 😬

Does Luton Rising only employ people of Asian decent?

Well done i'm proud of Luton our town

What will it cost each way ?

Looks great. So when is it going to be ready? Was supposed to be live Autumn 2022.

One too many hits to the head lad. Stay in school kids! Sympathy for those learning under a flight path….

Great Video. Best of luck Luton Rising 🙌🏻

Champions need fresh air the breathe.

Nice shots taken taKen in Wigmore Park that Luton Rising wants to destroy. So how money will Luton Rising lose this year?

yeah.... but how much have you borrowed? over half a billion isn't it?

This is exactly why we need dislikes back on CZcams.

Until u have noiseless green aircraft, don't bother with an expansion. Aircraft is a menace to wildlife. Do you avoid bird migratory paths? Increasing the economy never decreases the noise and pollution, in a world already on it's knees!!!

Great News Full Support Needed for local people to fight poverty

Propaganda rubbish. You lot can’t even move a few orchids. When you tried, as part of the park rubbish tip survey they all died.

Utter bull and you know it

The airport should expect to set and meet standards that exceed global and national UK targets towards net zero in order to sustain a credible position for expanding. Additionally, it should make a binding commitment to continuously improve and exceed standards through adoption of new technologies and operational practices, including targets for clean surface transit to access the site and greener fuels and propulsion for all operating aircraft. The airport should also implement a clear programme to develop a pipeline of green jobs within Luton, targeting underrepresented and underserved communities.
