Lumo, our official rail partner, continues to offer Gateshead fans the perfect means for travelling to London and back on away days.

Discover the tips and offers from Lumo below to make planning your next trip to t Capital easier, more affordable, and completely hassle-free.

Two tips and offers are listed.

1. Plan Ahead – Tickets Available Until Spring 2025.
2. Stay Flexible With LumoFlex

I have a few thoughts and observations.

Lumo Is Faster Than AI

According to the September 2024 Edition of Modern Railways, Lumo holds the record of two hours and 33 minutes from King’s Cross to Newcastle.

• Google’s AI-enhanced search engine gives three minutes longer.
• Looks like a stupid computer to me.

If Lumo could keep their record pace going to Edinburgh, they’d be in the Scottish Capital in three hours 43 minutes after leaving King’s Cross.

There Are Eleven Teams In The Same Division Of The National League As Gateshead, That Can Be Reached Easily From London

The teams are.

• Aldershot Town – Train from Waterloo
• Barnet – Underground and Bus
• Braintree – Train from Liverpool Street
• Dagenham & Redbridge – Underground and Bus
• Eastleigh – Train from Waterloo
• Ebbsfleet United – Thameslink
• Maidenhead – Elizabeth Line
• Southend United – Train from Liverpool Street
• Sutton United – Thameslink
• Wealdstone – Underground
• Woking – Train from Waterloo

Note.

1. Maidenhead and Sutton United are probably the easiest.
2. Woking could be the most difficult.
3. Thameslink and the Elizabeth Line are useful.

If Lumo bring a train-full of passengers to London, that is 400 passengers per train at £18 each way, if all supporters get the best price.

So each train could produce £14,400, if it was full. If Lumo can run ten-car instead of five-car trains, that doubles the revenue to £28,800.

I think Lumo see this as a nice little earner and they are going for it.

Conclusion

Train companies could support fans a lot better than they do.
