Luton Airport bus link plans backed
28.08.08
An £86m guided bus route spanning the Bedfordshire towns of Luton and Dunstable has received approval from the Government. When finished the route will cover over seven miles and stretch from Houghton Regis to Luton Airport.
Transport Minister Rosie Winterton confirmed funds of £78m towards the scheme and said Luton Borough Council could tender for construction bids. Work on the route, designed to ease congestion in the region, is due to begin next year.
Ms Winterton said: ‘This scheme will bring considerable benefits for travellers within south Bedfordshire. The busway will connect Luton and Luton Parkway railway stations and Luton Airport. This will improve public transport links and encourage greater integration between services, as well as facilitate the significant new development and regeneration that is going into the town.’
