Lumo is getting better and they seem to be doing well. Was wondering if they could stop at York as a 2nd stop from London and 3rd stop from Edinburgh Waverley.
Some ask why Lumo doesn't stop in places like York/Doncaster/Peterborough. It's because Lumo is 'open access' and must not compete too strongly with the incumbent. The regulator gave Lumo the green light to compete because it offered something different for UK rail. Basically it's the UK version of SNCF's Ouigo. Lumo was intended to compete for customers with low-cost airlines ... one reason it stops at Stevenage (close to Stansted) and Morpeth (close to Newcastle apt).
Lumo don't do 1st class the entire Lumo train is all one class enhanced standard class seating. Hull trains set u were on is because both Lumo & hull trains are operated by First Group uk the bus company biggest players in the UK they also operate Great Western out of Paddington and the West Coast Railway as Avanti from Euston to Glasgow in partnership with Trenatlia (Italian state Railways)
@JamJam0189 803 hull trains use belong same Hitachi family as TPE 802/2 and GWR & LNER 800/801 class units, they only difference being upgraded seating choice & layouts otherwise each units identical to each other. Lumo are AC power only they don't have donkey engines ie Generators like vast majority of other 8XXX classes do.
