My daughter is flying to luton airport from ireland tomorrow - very early. She then has to catch train to Cambs. Can she walk to the train station from Luton airport? Or how does she get there?

I'll look on the site for you - at the very least they will have a clearly marked bus service to the station if it's not walking distance. Let me go check.

By Rail
Regular rail services to central London take as little as 21 minutes with Midland Mainline and 25 minutes with First Capital Connect.

Other destinations include the south coast, the Midlands and northern England.

A free shuttle bus service operates to and from Luton Airport Parkway Station, this is normally just a 5 minute trip from the airport terminal building. The buses run to coincide with the trains and depart every 15 minutes throughout the day, after 23.00hrs shuttle buses run in time with train arrivals and departures, please check train times for details.

However, there are extensive roadworks on the approach to London Luton Airport.

Major roadworks are in progress on the M1 motorway and the main approach to the airport - both will affect access to London Luton Airport. Passengers travelling from Luton Airport Parkway Station by bus or taxi are advised to expect delays for the duration of these works and are strongly advised to leave additional travel time to get to London Luton Airport.

There is a bus link from the terminal to Luton Airport Parkway, if she buys her ticket it will be included in the rail ticket iyswim.

You catch the bus just outside the airport entrance. It is very easy to find. You just get on it - no need for a ticket or anything. It stops right in front of the train station.
