our trains
Services will use five modern six-car Class 222 trains, using intelligent engine management systems that reduce fuel use where possible.
what does the new route deliver?
Lumo’s new London–Stirling route significantly improves long-distance rail access for communities along the corridor. The service will provide four daily direct return journeys between Stirling and London Euston, with an additional fifth return service between Preston and London. For stations including Whifflet, Greenfaulds and Larbert, this will be the first ever direct rail connection to London. The route also strengthens regional links across Scotland’s central belt and northern England, supporting commuting, leisure travel and the visitor economy.
pioneering rail in Scotland
Railways have played a defining role in Scotland’s economic and social development for more than two centuries and parts of Lumo’s new London-Stirling route trace that history directly.
In 1826, the Monkland & Kirkintilloch Railway opened in North Lanarkshire, becoming the starting point of Scotland’s modern railway era. Almost 200 years later, Lumo’s new service reflects the same underlying purpose that shaped Scotland’s earliest railways: improving access, linking communities, and opening up new opportunities.
Lumo in Scotland
Lumo’s growth in Scotland is about more than adding new services to the timetable. It reflects a longer-term commitment to improving connectivity, supporting local economies and making rail a practical, affordable choice for more people.
We already run popular services on the East Coast Main Line, linking Edinburgh with Newcastle and London, and have recently expanded routes through Glasgow and Falkirk, helping to widen access to work, education, tourism and leisure across Scotland’s central belt.
