Where does the busway go?
The Busway travels between Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis in both directions.
The main part of the Busway network is the specially constructed guideway between Houghton Regis, Dunstable and Luton town centres, with the route continuing on-road to London Luton Airport, stopping near Luton Airport Parkway station.
The Busway provides 6.1 miles of segregated bus-only road, with a concrete track along a 4.8-mile section to take the two small guide wheels fitted at the front of standard buses, so vehicles can be guided along smoothly and hands-free at speeds of up to 50mph.
The Busway service is monitored to ensure that it meets the travel needs of local people.
