Date Completed:
About the project
The Luton DART is a planned automated guided people mover from Luton Airport Parkway station to Luton Airport in England. DART is an acronym for Direct Air-Rail Transit. It is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in 2021.
Sequs Consulting work in close partnership with Doppelmayr Cable Car (DCC) who will be responsible for the construction and installation of the automated guided people mover. DCC also have a contract to operate the DART system for the first five years.
Key Deliverables
A major expansion project at London Luton Airport is to include the creation of a new transport link. In the future, instead of taking a shuttle bus, passengers travelling to Luton from London St. Pancras International will be able to cover the last leg of their journey on the new automated people mover Cable Liner from Doppelmayr Cable Car.
As a result of this change, the trip from the central London to the international airport will take just 30 minutes. As well as building the Cable Liner, Doppelmayr Cable Car will operate the system for the first five years. The ground-breaking ceremony was held on April 17, 2018. The Cable Liner, which will cover a route of approximately two kilometres in length, is scheduled to go into public service in 2021.
