If the price of your new ticket is more expensive, you'll need to pay the difference.
- LumoAny: can be used on any of our Lumo trains on the date on your ticket (or for return tickets, to come back any date within a month). Your reserved seat is only valid on the selected service at time of booking. Fee-free refunds and change of journeys are included with a LumoAny tickets, however, any changes made after your date of travel will incur an £10 admin fee.
- LumoFlex: tickets are our affordable alternative if you are after that added layer of flexibility.
