Travelling from Luton to London...By train!

As I headed back from from my holidays abroad in Poland, I decided to share my fun train journey from Luton Airport to London St. Pancras by train using the Luton DART and Thameslink. I hope you enjoy watching it :)
‪@geofftech2‬'s video on the Luton DART: • The New Luton Airport ...

nice one, the Luton dart is like the DLR but that doesn't look like it runs on rails

[@mudchute4dlr]

it does

[@julianvargas2738]

Hey hey! Nice video, however I would suggest including information such prices, how many tickets I have to buy, what is the best option for the tickets, only one way, a 24h tickets, and so on. Other than that, great video, keep it up! Regards,

[@rikufryderyk]

Thanks for the tips!

[@devangjani7865]

Is it possible to carry trolley bags ( Small and Large ) in DART and ThamesLink trains?

Riku is the new Geoff Marshall 😀

[@rikufryderyk]

Thanks so much!!

[@BusesFromHanworth]

@@rikufryderykI can agree definitely! Glad to see some planes

[@sidkan-f3i]

Do I need to prior advance book luton express tickets or I can just reach there and buy. If yes buy from where. Is oyester works on it. Pls guide

[@rikufryderyk]

Oyster doesn't work there, but you can use a contactless card on the ticket barriers (no need to book in advance, I believe)

[@stevehornsby7727]

Class 700 is my favourite train. Sounds different when the pantagraph is lowered. Another excellent video again

[@claudia-marialazar7427]

Thank you for doing this helpful video! You got amazing youtuber skills btw!! Keep Going Riku!

[@Alabdallat-mj8gj]

Is it more affordable than a taxi or an Uber for 2 people ?

[@skyblazeeterno]

thanks for the video - I think youre the first vlogger to comment on the design/architecture of the DART terminii

[@davidstone408]

I have never been on ThamesLink (but do not live in London or an area serviced by ThamesLink - looking on the map it seems a bit confused, I certainly it’s useful if you live on its route

[@paulnbrenda358]

Wow Glad i clicked on this. We will be coming through Luton to Gatwick in 3 weeks. Google maps has us going on a bus then on the train from Luton Airport. Do we have to get tickets for the train or does my contactless CC work? Staying at the Hilton in Gatwick Airport then taking the Thameslink back into london for dinner. Gonna have fish n chips at the Fish in Borough Market.

[@skyblazeeterno]

I would suggest NOT using Google maps for planning travel and its better to go on specific rail sites like Trainline. IIRC the shuttle bus service between Luton airport and Luton parkway railway station was discontinued over a year ago though I believe there are local bus services AND there are coaches which go from Luton Airport to London Victoria

[@Ron_TTE]

Nice vid, but did you know that EMR Luton AirPort Express (one stop to St Pancras) is the same price, and sometimes cheaper if you book in advance

[@rikufryderyk]

Thanks for the info!

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

@@rikufryderyk Yes and in fact I was about to post a similar comment. EMR's trains operate to LTN Parkway from where you take DART. Check Trainline and you will see that the overall journey takes 10 mins less when EMR is taken.

[@Ron_TTE]

@@alexmcwhirter6611yes, and booking in advance can get you a ticket from just £6 including the dart

[@ZotmundSzele]

Can I just use a contactless method from the airport (getting on DART), then getting on the rail then the tube which caps at 13,90 quid?

[@rikufryderyk]

I think that could be possible... but I'm not very knowledgeable about the DART

[@skyblazeeterno]

I think the DART is a weird separate transport entity with nothing really applying to it and suspect a cap would NOT apply

[@mudchute4dlr]

nice

[@paulnbrenda358]

Must be nice your parents can take 5 weeks holiday Even as being self won the states my customers freak out we take 15 days

[@adriannagrzelak4658]

Nice video! Could you share links where to buy tickets for DART and Thameslink? Is it possible to purchase tickets on site (at the vending machines or box office)? Thanks in Advance! :)

[@McRailss]

Riku you sound like gigglesaurous from yesquad

[@McRailss]

R you gigglesaurous

[@BusesFromHanworth]

The hell

[@TamworthTheOfficial]

how the hell haven't you been on thameslink despite living in london bro 😭

[@TamworthTheOfficial]

@@KGM338 Yes, but he constantly goes out everyday and should of seen it atleast once in person. That's irrelevant.

[@flyingscotsman_a3]

@@KGM338 Dude come on, this kid is a literal train enthusiast who lives on zone 4 of the tube and goes into London regularly to ride trains and film videos and yet has never been on thameslink!? I don't think you can really excuse that lol.

[@TamworthTheOfficial]

@@KGM338 Okay, but you don't know this person very well do you. Weekends for them is a good time to go out and record at this time, it's not always staying home.

[@arieldominik]

@@KGM338 The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

@@KGM338 do you know what channel youre at? riku is the type of person to just go on transport anytime and get every bit of track done asap so yeah stop being stupid
