There's a station called Luton Airport Parkway on the Midland Main Line/Thameslink. Although it's close to the airport there's an escarpment between them which makes linking them problematic.
Currently there's a shuttle bus but a new light rail link is under construction and has, IIRC, provem more difficult and costly than planned becuase of the topography/geology.
Although named for the airport the station also serves significant housing development too.
