Coach & train from Bedford to Luton — how it compares

For comparison, here is the public-transport alternative and why most Bedford travellers still choose a door-to-door taxi:

Thameslink / East Midlands Railway — Midland Main Line (Bedford → Luton Airport Parkway)from £9.6
trainevery 15–20 minFrom: Bedford railway stationTo: Luton Airport Parkway, then Luton DART shuttle to the terminal (4 min)

Genuinely direct to Luton Airport Parkway in ~20 min, but it stops at the Parkway, not the airport — you finish on the Luton DART shuttle (a separate £4.90 single unless you buy a through 'Luton Airport' ticket), carrying luggage across two changes of vehicle with no door-to-door drop-off
