Is Lumo legit?

Legit, mixed reviews

Lumo is a perfectly real train company running low-cost, all-electric trains from London to Newcastle and Edinburgh, but those low fares come with tight rules. Its LumoFixed fare is valid only on the train you booked and cannot be refunded, so a change of plans costs a fee plus any difference in fare.

What we checked

  • Running trains since 2021
  • Part of FirstGroup plc
  • Company registered in 2013
  • Ratings on other review websites: 2/5

Watch out for

  • A delay of 20 or 25 minutes, which Lumo's Delay Repay does not pay for because it starts at 30.
  • A second medium suitcase, which the luggage rules can charge £40 for or turn away on a busy train.
  • A LumoFlex ticket you decide not to use on the day itself, after its fee-free refund has already closed.

Lumo ticket you can no longer use?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Lumo as a formal letter.

Lumo customer experience can be reached on 0345 528 0409 or by email at customerexperience@lumo.co.uk, and its help page also lists a webform, WhatsApp and X. Have your booking reference, the fare type and the train you were booked on ready.

Late train, cancellation or refund to sort out? Start your complaint here and we push it out to Lumo by email, social media and printed letters.

How do I claim Delay Repay from Lumo?

Lumo handles Delay Repay itself, through the Delay Repay claim page linked from the help section of its website, for journeys where a Lumo train was cancelled or got you to your destination late. Have the booking reference, the date, the train you were booked on and the time you actually arrived ready, and keep a screenshot of any delay message from the LumoGo app.

Claim turned down or paid short? Our trained AI opens a case for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again and how to escalate.

Can I get a refund on a Lumo ticket?

Whether Lumo refunds a ticket depends on the fare you bought: LumoFixed, LumoFlex and Anytime fares carry different conditions for refunds and changes, set out in the fare conditions and on Lumo's refunds and ticket changes page. Lumo fares are valid only on Lumo trains, so during disruption check Lumo's own travel updates before boarding another operator's service. When Lumo cancels your train, keep the cancellation message and ask for the refund in writing, quoting your booking reference.

Can I take a Lumo complaint to the Rail Ombudsman?

Yes: the Rail Ombudsman investigates unresolved complaints from consumers about train operators in Great Britain that belong to its scheme, and Lumo is a member. It generally expects Lumo to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every contact with the company.

Bring it through our complaint process: we help you write the complaint in minutes, drawing on thousands of complaint letters that worked.

What do people complain about most at Lumo?

Nothing has been reported about Lumo here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at intercity train operators: Delay Repay claims after late or cancelled trains, refunds on fares with strict conditions, tickets not accepted on other operators' trains during disruption, luggage rules on board, crowding when services are cut, and engineering works that change journeys at short notice.

Booked on a Lumo train that was cancelled or ran late? Be the first to report it: your case opens the record for the next passenger on the East Coast or West Coast route.

What happens after I submit my complaint?

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of Lumo through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Can other consumers help me with my Lumo complaint?

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with Lumo can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
