Hello from Australia ... Great video Rebecca, I just saw your personal update about ramping up this channel a couple of days back. I was "initially" thinking on your return LNER journey that your rocky situation could be to do with your seat placement compared to the prior journey. HOWEVER ... You did then comment on passengers walking up the aisle bracing themselves. So that shot me out the water. ... So then ... In many train VLOGS the presenter never tells you where their seat is placed inside the saloon. A seat in the centre will always be more comfortable a ride than the seats at the end. In the centre you are away from the key stress points of sitting over the bogies (the wheel structure) and away from the coupling between carriages. Even more true in a sleeper cabin. It would be great if a VLOGGER one day points this out. Either way probably more comfortable than trekking a Roman road in inclement weather. :)

Done lumo twice and bang on time, comfortable seat especially the head rest and so quiet too. Definitely the way to go and 4 hrs travel and cost make more a worthwhile choice.

That was a great review full of facts to prepare the traveller. Much better than flying? I think so. Well done!!

[jamesgreen]

I always travel from Kings Cross to Newcastle on Lumo, must of done it at least a dozen times now. Fantastic..

We picked Lumo just randomly, and by price. As your trip, it was very pleasant, and I'm glad we landed w/ Lumo! Journeyed London to E'burgh Sept 2024, about 10:30 a.m.

What a lovely positive style of review, I enjoyed that thanks. I find loads of train sockets are dodgy, they’re the same as sockets in the home, ie. made of sprung copper inside which is soft but they are getting plugs rammed into them many times a day unlike your home sockets. It’s a great facility to have but I guess train companies have made a rod for their own back, it stands to reason that they’re going to wear out pretty quickly and think how many there are to keep on top of maintaining them.

I got Lumo once and the train was packed. It failed at Newcastle and we were told we could get on one and only one LNER train to get to Edinburgh and it was standing room only. I'm a regular traveler on the ECML and its LNER for me every time

Great review, simple, entertaining and honest!

[rdboxcar]

One thing you do not mention is if you have an advanced Lumo toc specified ticket and your Lumo is cancelled you may have a very very long wait, if your LNER is cancelled you get on the next one. LNER does not have to carry you unless you pay for the fare on their train. Before leaving KX there is always a ticket announcement saying Lumo tickets are not valid on this service.

But... large suitcase max. 63cm in LUMO vs 90cm in LNER (mine is 80cm so LNER is my option). Very useful review, tanks

I've taken LNER trains a few times, but each time I found the seats to be very narrow and crowded, which made me feel quite uncomfortable😢 By the way I know of a train ticket discount on Trainpal, than is even 5%! if someone need, I’d like to share, hope it helps!❤

you keep talking about food and the toilet and use the word 'dump'. a bit tragic narrative so I had to leave the channel.
