The First Lumo Service Arrives In London
These pictures show the first Lumo service as it arrives in Platform 5 at King’s Cross station.
Note.
The clock showed the train arrived five minutes early.
The train appeared to be about ninety percent full!
How close is the train colour to LNER blue?
The picture shows two iconic A4 Pacifics; Mallard and Dominion of Canada at the National Railway Museum.
Not very is the probable answer!
Lumo’s Seats Are OK
I went down to King’s Cross to see the 1348 Lumo arrival from Edinburgh arrive (At 1343 incidentally!)
The seats seemed to be a big topic with passengers I talked to, who’d just spent four-and-a-half hours sitting on them!
I will replace these pictures with better ones, when I use the trains. But they do show the basic design.
But all felt positive about them and said they were better than LNER.
One guy showed me a video of pushing his hand into the seat cushion. It appeared they would make bad ironing boards.
