Does Lumo have First Class? Everything you need to know

No. Lumo does not sell First Class tickets. Since its launch in 2021, the operator has run as an all-standard-class service. This allows fares to stay low while keeping the experience simple and comfortable. All passengers travel in an open-plan design with modern seating, without the need for upgrades or premium ticket types.

Lumo’s aim is to make train travel a more affordable and sustainable option compared to flying between London and Edinburgh. By not offering First Class, Lumo can:

• Keep fares among the lowest for long-distance rail travel in the UK
• Provide equal seating options for everyone
• Simplify booking with one straightforward ticket type

This approach makes travel accessible while still ensuring passenger comfort.

Even without a First Class section, Lumo offers a range of features to make the journey enjoyable:

• Free Wi-Fi throughout the train
• At-seat power and USB charging points
• Seat reservations through the Lumo Seat Picker tool
• Large luggage racks and under-seat storage
