Our most popular train station in London is London King's Cross. Lumo runs five direct services a day from London King's Cross to all other destinations we operate to, including Newcastle Central Station and Edinburgh Waverley. If you need to travel to other London stations, you can book connecting journeys with us for tickets with other operators. You'll need to have a separate ticket for this part of your journey, as your Lumo train ticket is only valid on Lumo services. We recommend booking both your Lumo ticket and your ticket with the other operator together all in one booking to make the biggest saving!
