To start with, there will be two services running daily each way, and that will eventually increase to five. The new line will stop at Newcastle and Morpeth, with some services also stopping at Stevenage (which is handily linked to Luton Airport). Not only are trains generally far better for the planet than planes, but Lumo’s brand-new, 100 percent electric-powered fleet is more carbon-efficient than most. On top of that increased affordability, the services will be more sustainable too. The inaugural service ran this morning, before next week’s passenger launch. With one-way fares starting from just £14.90, it will provide serious competition for both the current LNER train service and budget flight routes. From Monday (October 25), a new service from Lumo looks set to transform the train route between the two capitals. With easyJet’s cheapest flights coming in at £27, there’s no competition – on price at least.īut that will all change very, very soon. Book too late, and they can set you back well over £100. Even if you book well in advance, tickets on the King’s Cross to Waverley line start at £50.
There’s a reason why so many prefer planes to trains w hen travelling between London and Edinburgh.
