Just Attempted To Book King’s Cross To Glasgow On Lumo

September 25, 2025 7:27 pm

Lumo starts their King’s Cross and Glasgow service on the 14th December 2025, which is the day the timetable changes.

• All the tickets for the first few days have gone.
• But tickets can be booked into February.
• It also appears that most of the offered direct services have sold out already.
• Are Scots showing their frugal side?

This was a typical ticket, I could have booked using my Senior Railcard for the 7th January 2026.

• Leave King’s Cross at 05:45.
• Arrive Glasgow Central at 11:22.
• Journey Time is 5:37.
• Cost £23.10

Note.

1. There was a change of train to ScotRail at Edinburgh Waverley.
2. The price included a ticket on the shuttle bus between Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central.
3. Serving both main Glasgow stations with one ticket is probably what ScotRail offer.

The service looks convenient and well-priced.

Will Trains Be Faster After The Timetable Change On 14th December 2025?

These are times for two early morning trains, between King’s Cross and Edinburgh, where the first is before the timetable change and the second is after.

• 23rd October 2025 – 05:48 – 10:09 – 04:19
• 17th December 2025 – 05:45 – 09:57 – 04:12

Seven minutes is only the first saving of what I believe will be several.

1. Two examples for easyJet flights from London to Glasgow on 8th December: from Gatwick to GLA: 33 Pounds, and from Luton to GLA: only 29 Pounds. Bookable for all, not only for seniors. Flight time according to http://www.flightradar24.com: 59 minutes on average. Why should anybody book a Lumo train with a travel time of more than four hours ? (By the way: I do not work for easyJet.)
