All customers can bring on board a maximum of ONE Small bag OR Holdall and ONE Medium suitcase (63 x 41 x 27cm). Please note, luggage that exceeds these limits is carried at our discretion and you may be refused travel.

Yes, you can take a suitcase on a Lumo train, but you must be mindful of their strict luggage policy, which is more similar to a budget airline than a traditional rail operator. Every passenger is allowed one small bag (like a handbag or laptop bag) that fits under the seat, plus one large suitcase that must not exceed 63 x 41 x 27 cm. This large bag must be able to fit in the overhead racks or the dedicated luggage stacks at the ends of the carriages. Lumo trains do not have "luggage vans," so everything you bring must be manageable by you personally. If you bring a suitcase that exceeds these dimensions, or if you attempt to bring multiple large bags, you may be charged an additional fee or refused boarding if the train is at capacity. This policy is designed to keep the trains aerodynamic and efficient while ensuring that boarding and disembarking are as fast as possible for their high-speed London-to-Edinburgh service. For 2026 travelers, it is highly recommended to measure your "checked-size" bags before arriving at King's Cross or Waverley to avoid last-minute stress.

Yes, you can take a suitcase on a Lumo train. Lumo has a fairly generous and passenger-friendly luggage policy compared to some other UK operators.

Here are the key points you need to know:

Official Allowance:

• Two large items (e.g., suitcases, rucksacks) up to 30kg each.
• Dimensions should not exceed 85cm x 60cm x 35cm (roughly the size of a large airline check-in suitcase).
• Plus one small item of hand luggage (e.g., handbag, laptop bag).

Important Practical Details:

1. No Compulsory Reservations: Unlike some other train companies, you do not need to book a specific luggage space for your suitcase. It’s first-come, first-served.
2. Storage Areas: Luggage should be stored in the dedicated areas:
   • Overhead racks (suitable for smaller suitcases and bags).
   • Large racks at the ends of each carriage near the doors.
   • Spaces between seat backs (in some configurations).
3. Considerations for Busy Times:
   • During peak travel times (weekends, bank holidays, Fridays/Sundays), the luggage spaces can fill up quickly.
   • It’s advisable to board as early as possible to secure space for your suitcase.
   • If the racks are full, you may need to keep your suitcase with you near your seat, ensuring it doesn’t block aisles or doors.

Prohibited Items:
