Big windows made the most of the majestic views, particularly on the final charge from Newcastle to Edinburgh, skirting the miles of wild, sandy Northumberland coastline before passing pretty Berwick-upon-Tweed and threading through Lowland forests and hills. On the inaugural service, we found the seats to be spacious, if a little hard вЂ“ and the carriages bright and cheerful. The wingback seats also give a sense of privacy, and is a bonus for Covid-era travel.

Each seat, which has been ergonomically designed to regulate blood flow to theВ feet, has a fold-down table with individual lighting and plug socket, as well as freeВ wi-fiВ and an entertainment package with movies, documentaries, childrenвЂ™s TV andВ box-setsВ available on board. Seating is the same throughout all five carriages: a 2-2 formation that will be familiar to fliers, and two table seating options per carriage. This is train travelВ for people who like planes вЂ“ airports and emissions, less so. Yorkshire residents will be disappointed to seeВ LumoВ trains whizzing through York. Others stop at Stevenage, close to Luton Airport.

However,В LumoВ is guaranteeing that no tickets will exceed ВЈ69 one way, in plentiful supply for January 2022 dates, with no less than 60 per cent of its tickets available for ВЈ30.В RailcardsВ can also be used on its services, bringing down the cost further. ItsВ big attraction has beenВ price вЂ“ launch tickets that went on saleВ atВ ВЈ19.90 one way have nowВ all butВ sold out, with just a handful ofВ cheapВ services available at that price before December.

Services run at off-peak times, twice a day, but will increase to five times a day in 2022.

Adding 1m seats to the East Coast Mainline LumoВ trainsВ вЂ“ owned by the First Group, which also runs Hull TrainsВ вЂ“В run on the same line as LNER, the state-controlled operator that took over the route when the VirginВ franchise was handed back to the government in 2018.В LumoвЂ™sВ aim is for its trains to be simpler and more cost-effective, by offering just one class of carriage and two types of ticket.
