Lumo Doubles Capacity On Trip From Edinburgh To London

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the Northern Echo.

This is the sub-heading.

This first paragraph adds more details.

This one-off 10-coach electric service, which ran on July 4 and carried 772 passengers in each direction between Edinburgh, Newcastle and London, saw more than 1,540 people onboard the record-breaking return service.

If you look at the original article, there is a lot more text and two spectacular pictures of the 10-coach train crossing rivers.

Hull Trains, who are a sister company of Lumo, have been running ten-car trains for some time.

I wrote about them in April 2023 in Ten-Car Hull Trains.
