A 1.3 mile Cable Car goes ahead in Luton but the long-awaited Metropolitan Line Extension in Watford does not.
Construction work began on the confusingly named "Luton DART" this May. "DART" stands for Direct Air-Rail Transit but also refers to the Dublin Area Rapid Transit rail route from Bray to Malahide and Howth through Dublin - a line that is well familiar to Luton's 20,000 Irish residents (over 6% of the population).
