Luton is less than 50 km (30 miles) north of the centre of London, and has good transport links via the motorway network and the National Rail system. Luton is also home to London Luton Airport, one of the major feeder airports for London and the southeast. Luton is served by buses run by Arriva and other operators, and has a busway. As a Unitary Authority, Luton Borough Council is responsible for local highways and public transport in the Borough.
Luton is connected to the M1 motorway, and with the A6 and the A505.
Luton is served by three railway stations on the Midland Main Line: Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and Leagrave. Thameslink and Great Northern runs the Thameslink route north to Bedford and south to Brighton via central London stations. East Midlands Trains regional and intercity services run north to Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Sheffield, Leeds and other cities, and south to London St Pancras International.
There are plans to introduce 24-hour rail services to Luton and Luton Airport Parkway. The Thameslink Programme will provide further links to southwards to Guildford, East Grinstead, Ashford, Dartford and the South Coast.
