London to Edinburgh by trainAvanti, LNER or Lumo: Traveling by Train From London to Edinburgh

By Jessica Owen

I'm the brains behind Travel So Good. I enjoy sharing my honest opinions on trains, planes and hotels, as well as creating fun travel challenges. I've traveled with every train operating company in the UK and know how to get the best value from every trip I make, which allows me to travel in First Class more often!

When traveling from London to Edinburgh by train, you can choose from three companies: Avanti, LNER, or Lumo. In this guide, I’ll compare all three operators so you can make the best choice for your trip. My preference is LNER due to their more frequent trains and excellent onboard facilities. However, that’s not to say the other options are bad.

Route overview

LNER and Lumo both depart from London King’s Cross and travel along the East Coast Mainline. Avanti operates from London Euston station and up the West Coast Mainline. All arrive at Edinburgh Waverley station. Lumo has the fastest journey times from London to Edinburgh at 4 hours and 17 minutes, followed by LNER, taking 4 hours and 20 minutes. Avanti is the slowest at 5 hours and 40 minutes, which is why I avoid Avanti for this route. For details on Avanti, check out Omio's London to Manchester guide. I advise not taking a flight from London to Edinburgh. While the flight itself takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, London’s airports are far from the city center. By the time you factor in travel to the airport, security checks, and waiting around, you could already be halfway to Edinburgh aboard a train cruising at 125 mph (200 km/h), which is a far more relaxing option!

Transportation experience

Booking on Omio was easy. I simply chose my time and class of travel, and within moments of booking, my ticket was ready to use! Although LNER and Lumo operate similar Hitachi-built trains, the onboard experience is quite different, as I detail below.

Departure station

After checking the departure boards for my platform, I went through the automatic ticket barriers and proceeded to board my train. On Lumo, all tickets come with a seat reservation. Trains are always very full, so ensure you sit in your assigned seat. With LNER, off-peak trains are less busy. If you have an assigned seat, I recommend sitting there. Otherwise, you’re free to sit at any unreserved seat (indicated by a green light above each seat).

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown

Lumo Lumo operates on a low-cost model (think Ryanair on rails!). With just five services per day, the choice is limited. There are strict baggage limits (one small and one medium suitcase only). No bulky items or bicycles are allowed. Lumo only offers Standard Class seating, with 25 rows per carriage and just two tables, so legroom is limited, and the carriages can feel cramped. LNER LNER trains from London to Edinburgh depart every 30 minutes, with 26 services per day. LNER is a more enjoyable traveling experience, with a maximum of 23 seat rows and eight tables per carriage. The state-run operator offers a more generous baggage allowance (including bicycles), as well as the option to upgrade to First Class. Onboard Food & Drinks Lumo: Offers an at-seat trolley service that sells sandwiches, snacks like biscuits and crisps, and drinks like coffee, tea, and soda. LNER: Has an onboard shop you can visit at your leisure. By scanning a QR code, you can order hot meals, snacks, and drinks such as coffee and wine and get them to your seat. I tried the Curry Nanster (a curry-filled naan wrap) with a glass of white wine. Both Lumo and LNER have Wi-Fi on board, though it’s quite slow and has patchy coverage. It’s fine for general browsing and streaming music, but you may struggle to stream video with it. I recommend you download some content before you head out! Omio made it super easy to book my London to Edinburgh train tickets. I just picked my departure time and how flexible I wanted my ticket to be, and then my ticket was ready to go. Tickets usually go on sale 12 weeks in advance, but for some dates, you can book as early as 6 months before. Lumo is often cheaper than LNER, but those low fares sell out fast, so it’s worth booking early!

Top tips & recommendations

  • To escape the crowds at King’s Cross, head to the upper level, where you can find a lesser-known platform entrance.
  • Arrive early and stock up on treats: King’s Cross station has a wide selection of shops to buy food before you travel. I always head to Greggs for a sausage roll or steak bake!
  • The best views are on the right-hand side, especially between Newcastle to Edinburgh. Look out for the border marker when crossing from England into Scotland.

Conclusion

Traveling from London to Edinburgh by train with Lumo might be cheaper and a bit quicker than with LNER, but I prefer the ambiance and overall experience on LNER trains. Their more frequent service is a real advantage during disruptions, but honestly, there’s nothing wrong with Lumo if you plan ahead.

My overall experience on the journey from London to Edinburgh was positive. The staff were friendly, the hygiene in both the seats and the toilets was top notch, and the train was on time and comfortable with very good seats. The price was also reasonable. However, there were many necessary changes, which made the journey a little awkward, and I didn't find the reservation options ideal. The wifi connection left a lot to be desired. Despite these minor inconveniences, the journey was fine.

The staff were extremely helpful as they made sure passengers were comfortable. The punctuality of the services was impressive and the cleanliness of the toilets highly commendable. However, the numerous transfers were a challenge and made travelling difficult. The wifi connection was extremely weak, which affected the use of my mobile phone, and the volume was not optimal.

A few months ago, I travelled from London to Edinburgh. The journey was reasonably satisfactory. Firstly, the great price should be emphasised. I thought it was good value for money and good value for the long journey. The staff on board were also very friendly and helpful. In addition, the train arrived in Edinburgh on time and there were few changes. This of course made the journey a lot easier. However, the seats were not particularly cosy and the noise level was not adequate. Unfortunately, the wifi was not efficient or stable. But overall a good journey!

I really enjoyed the train journey! The train was very modern and equipped with everything you need. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I had plenty of space and legroom at my seat. The seat was also very comfortable. The only thing that was a bit of a shame was that it was a bit hot on the train as the air conditioning was off. All in all, I can definitely recommend it!

I particularly liked the fact that the train was very punctual. Another positive aspect was that the toilets were very clean and hygienic. Other advantages were the comfort, the wifi and the consistently good reception. A criterion that is often forgotten is the price, which was also right here. To summarise in one sentence, the journey went smoothly and I recommend it.

I recently travelled from London to Edinburgh. The price of the ticket was excellent. The train arrived on time in Edinburgh, which made the journey much easier. The wifi connection was also excellent. This made it easier to communicate from the train. The staff were very friendly. However, no attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets were unfortunately unkempt. There were also several changes of trains, which made the journey more time-consuming. The noise level on the train was not appropriate. Overall, however, a very relaxing journey!

My journey from London to Edinburgh was incredibly good, apart from a few inconveniences. The price of the ticket was, in my opinion, worthwhile and quite good value for the journey. The staff were friendly, polite and respectful. They always resolved my concerns and questions. The wifi connection was stable and efficient. Therefore, I had access to the internet at all times and was able to be productive while doing work on the laptop, for example. However, only minimal attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets and seats were not clean and tidy. Unfortunately, the seats were also not cosy and comfortable. The train didn't arrive in Edinburgh on time either. But overall a good journey!

The journey took five and a half hours and went by quickly. I was able to work and charge my laptop. The seats were comfortable throughout the journey, but towards the end it was nice not to have to sit in the seat. It was relatively quiet on the train and it was very well cleaned. The toilet was a bit smelly, but it was all within reason. I didn't change trains and we arrived in Edinburgh without any delays. The conductor was also very friendly.

I decided to do a journey from London to Edinburgh some time ago. It was very easy to book the tickets online. The train was very hygienic and the toilets were very clean. As I travelled without changing trains, the journey took about 5.5 hours and the train was quiet but there were a lot of people on the train. There was also free wifi and free power sockets.

I travelled on the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) 1A12 from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley. The entire journey was a through journey with no changes, and it took 4 hours and 20 minutes. This direct service made my journey exceptionally comfortable and stress-free. The train was both contemporary and very comfortable. I had plenty of room to spread out and sit back and relax. In addition, it was extremely productive that each seat was equipped with its own plug so I could charge my devices on the journey without any issues. There was minimal wifi, so I was able to make the most of my travelling time. The train staff were helpful and friendly, and the on-board catering was extensive and of good quality. The journey went smoothly and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery while travelling. I would recommend this itinerary from London to Edinburgh by train to anyone looking for a fast, comfortable and reliable way to travel. A hassle-free and convenient part of the journey!
Advantages
IconWonderful views
IconTrain can run on time
IconVery modern and hygienic
Disadvantages
IconStaff was unfriendly
The train journey was very good as we had train number UK 601 from UK Train. We travelled for 8 hours and the view during the journey was very nice. The train was also very modern, which is also very positive. The train was also very modern and we arrived at our destination on time.
Advantages
IconRelaxed way of travelling
IconGood choice of food
IconBeautiful views
Disadvantages
IconService highly dependent on staff
IconRelatively slow
I have now travelled the London - Edinburgh route 3 times. Each time I travelled in First Class. The seats are very good in a 2 + 1 layout, as you know it from the ICE. It is important to remember to bring a UK adapter plug. The wifi + on-board entertainment worked the whole time. On the eastbound route you have very nice views of the sea. Unfortunately, the train is relatively slow and it took me around 5 hours. However, the train was always on time and during the journey I got 2 small snacks + as many drinks as I wanted when the service staff came round. Which unfortunately didn't happen often on one of the three journeys. Overall though it is a very pleasant way to travel. The next time I travel to Scotland it will be by train again.

Wow, what a great journey from London to Edinburgh on Scottish Rail 213! I am absolutely delighted with this train connection. I travelled from one capital city to the other in just 4 hours and 16 minutes, without having to change trains. The price was really cheap, I was amazed. The train was super comfortable and I had plenty of room for my legs. The time flew by - I was able to relax, read a book and enjoy the beautiful scenery passing by the window. From the rolling hills of England to the rugged coastline of Scotland - simply breathtaking! The staff on the train were great too, always friendly and helpful. And guess what, we even arrived in Edinburgh a few minutes early! Now that's what I call punctuality.
