FirstGroup plans to extend Lumo train service from London-Edinburgh to London-Glasgow, with discussions underway for approval.

FirstGroup plans to extend its Lumo train service between London and Edinburgh to Glasgow, with discussions underway with Transport Scotland, Network Rail, and the Office of Rail and Road for approval. The proposed train extension could provide direct services between Newcastle and Glasgow and possibly launch in summer 2025. Lumo, launched in October 2021, operates on an open-access basis, meaning it doesn't receive taxpayer-funded subsidies and takes on all revenue risk.
