Lumo trains, routes and tickets
Lumo operates East Coast services from London King’s Cross to the North East, Edinburgh and selected Glasgow journeys, and West Coast services between London Euston and Stirling. Check the London terminal carefully: King’s Cross and Euston are separate stations, and the two corridors serve different Scottish destinations and intermediate stops.

About the operator
Lumo’s East Coast operation expanded to Glasgow Queen Street in December 2025, with the operator’s launch announcement confirming a direct service through Edinburgh and Falkirk. Its 2026 timetable includes that extension.
The Stirling–London Euston route launched in 2026 and is included in the current timetable. It operates alongside the East Coast route through Newcastle and Edinburgh, giving Lumo two different London terminals. The separately advertised Torbay route is still a proposal, rather than part of these operating services.
Routes and principal stations
East Coast corridor
The East Coast route links King’s Cross with the North East and Edinburgh. Stevenage calls are for northbound boarding and southbound alighting in Lumo’s current timetable. Check those restrictions before planning a journey to or from the station.
Glasgow extension
Selected services continue beyond Edinburgh through Haymarket and Falkirk High to Glasgow Queen Street. This is a different Glasgow terminal from the West Coast intercity trains using Glasgow Central. Check the dated through service rather than assuming every Edinburgh train continues.
Stirling and the West Coast
The West Coast timetable uses Euston and stations including Preston, Carlisle and Motherwell towards Stirling. The exact intermediate calls vary by train; use the timetable to establish the service suitable for a particular station pair.
Planning your journey
Check the London terminal before booking an onward connection or travelling to the station. Euston and King’s Cross are separate terminals, and a ticket or reservation for one Lumo corridor does not make the other an interchangeable departure point.
Review Lumo’s boarding instructions and luggage policy before travel. The operator advises arriving in time for its boarding process; use the station’s current platform display rather than relying solely on a previously displayed app platform.
For Glasgow, verify whether the journey is the through Queen Street service or an itinerary with a connection. For Stirling, read the actual West Coast departure and calls. A general brand map should not be used as a promise of direct travel between every destination shown.
Tickets and journey choices
Compare the conditions of the selected Lumo fare, including train restrictions and changes. Open-access services still have ticket-validity rules. If disruption affects the journey, follow published arrangements before boarding another operator’s train, even if it travels towards the same city.
Accessibility and assistance
Lumo’s 2026 Accessible Travel Policy covers both East Coast and West Coast services. Explain the exact corridor and assistance needs when booking, including wheelchair accommodation and any station transfer. Do not assume the two routes use identical trains or have the same boarding arrangements simply because they share one brand.
