Lumo Trains

Lumo Trains is a modern eco friendly all electric rail service offering passengers a comfortable and budget-friendly way to travel along the East Coast Main Line.

Lumo Rail Service Routes

Lumo does not serve as many intermediate stations as other operators, allowing for faster journey times between major cities.

Lumo Trains primarily operates between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, with stops at several key stations along the way. The main stops include:

• London King’s Cross (the starting point for most services)
• Stevenage (a convenient stop for Hertfordshire passengers)
• Newcastle (a major hub in North East England)
• Morpeth (serving Northumberland)
• Edinburgh Waverley (the final destination in Scotland)

A typical London to Edinburgh trip takes around 4 hours and 30 minutes, making it a competitive alternative to flying or driving.

Facilities Onboard Lumo Trains

Lumo’s trains are designed with passenger comfort and convenience in mind. The company uses Hitachi AT300 electric trains, which are modern, energy-efficient and well-equipped.
