Scotland has received some expansion of direct train services to London with Lumo, including from Glasgow and Stirling.
The Stirling to London Euston line launched a week ago, on May 25, but has already been suspended due to a train fault. Currently, the Stirling route only boasts one train; and no replacement trains are available to carry out the service.
The Stirling to London Euston Lumo train also calls at Milton Keynes Central, Crewe, Preston and Carlisle, with two services a day in each direction. Now, all of them are cancelled, with replacement services offered to those booked to travel on the line.
While services are expected to resume on Tuesday, June 3, passengers are advised to check the Lumo website before travelling.
A spokesperson for Lumo said: “Since launch, the vast majority of our services have operated as planned; however, a few services have been cancelled with alternative travel offered to customers.”
“We apologise for the inconvenience and are working closely with Alstom, who maintain the trains to ensure minimal disruption to customer journeys.”
What is more, the faulty train is Class 222 Meridian, which used to be owned by East Midlands Railway, and is the only train operating between Stirling and London Euston. Lumo is also not affected by the Government’s renationalisation of train services, and will continue operating as is, setting its own fares with the aim of keeping them as low as possible.
