    This was good but I did think it was a bit misleading. There's little difference in journey time from Victoria-Gatwick using Gatwick Express to London Bridge-Gatwick on Thameslink. I guess you thought Thameslink was slower because on that you went on to St.Pancras, the far side of Central London. Incidently from Central London it would take at least twice as long to Gatwick by taxi.

    This is an unfair comparison as Gatwick Express is a premium service that normally does not stop at East Croydon. You however have failed to compare it with Southern’s fast services between Victoria and the coast calling at Clapham Junction & East Croydon then Gatwick for much less than GX. I would have expected that to been discussed in this video even if you failed to travel on it.

However, just looking at prices for early in April, as a comparison, Lumo (32.39) is much higher than LNER (£19.50) .. for 2 adults, with a Two Together railcard to Edinburgh We actually used LNER in November for a trip to London (or first train journey for 20+ years) and have already booked another trip to Edinburgh for March (again LNER) so we just fancied trying another company

  • @ExtremeSpeedMewtwo
    @ExtremeSpeedMewtwo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nobody has the answer right in the comments. It would be a very niche method to go to Morpeth Station from Newcastle Airport since heck, Newcastle Station is closer, and I can't imagine Morpeth Station would have much of a market for that... The main reason I suspect (and have heard) is because Lumo had to register with National Rail and its alliance in order to use the railway and its stations. This means coming to agreements with serving stations that aren't served by other lines. Now, London to Edinburgh (aka the East Coast Main Line) is already served by LNER, so the company likely had to add a station like Morpeth in to create an incentive for National Rail to approve them to join the alliance, since it's not commonly served by LNER. Perhaps the incentive was that it's a train service that serves the Northumberland area from London, and that Northumberland doesn't get much service from London currently. It's also the reason they likely couldn't stop at York, which would be useful to allow people at that part of North England to access the service, considering it's a major railway station in North England. Stopping at York would mean they would steal some of the customers from LNER, and I imagine National Rail wouldn't approve that. Short answer: agreements and compromises needed to be on the National Rail network

    • @RonWandersOff
      @RonWandersOff 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You know what…. this sounds very plausible. Looking at the maps, Morpeth is a good 20 miles or 1hr 15m by public transport with 2 connections and it doesn’t have an express bus so it’s doesn’t really sound like an airport connection. Think I’ll have to get up there and “investigate” myself in a future video
