Once you’ve purchased your tickets, Lumo will let you know of any timetable changes and disruption via email as your departure date gets closer. We do still recommend consulting the journey checker and live train times tracker to double check your platform number, potential delays and arrival/departure times.
If you have the LumoGo app downloaded on your phone, you can track live train times, letting you track the real-time progress of your train. As well, with our route planner, you can find the best way to get from your front door to your destination.
