A new fully-automated cable-hauled system is currently under construction at London Luton Airport (LLA), U.K. The “direct air to rail transit” (DART) system will realise a £225 million plan to fully upgrade London Luton’s transport links by 2021. It will be able to run 24 h a day, with two trains operating the 3-km journey from Luton Airport Parkway rail station to the terminal in under 4 min. Not only will the new DART system provide a much faster and efficient service than the current shuttle bus service, it will also make the use of public transport over private vehicles a far more attractive and sustainable option for passengers, enabling a significant modal shift from road to rail. The paper describes the driving project vision for high quality user experience, and some of the innovative procurement solutions implemented to maximise value for LLA.
