The first trains will set off from Glasgow Queen Street station later this year.

The popular open access rail operator Lumo has launched the first tickets for its brand new sustainable and affordable service linking Glasgow and London.

The operator will extend its current route to stop at Glasgow Queen Street from December, with advance tickets in 2026 starting from just £33.90 when customers book direct. Advance tickets between Glasgow and Newcastle, meanwhile, start from just £10.90. The service will also call at Falkirk High Station.

Lumo has provided an award-winning service between Edinburgh, Newcastle and London for a number of years, operating innovative 100% electric trains. Extending its route to Glasgow will boost connectivity for Scotland’s passengers making domestic journeys, as well as those across the border.
