Lumo’s new Stirling route hit by train failure

The only train operated by Lumo from London Euston to Stirling was cancelled yesterday, because of a fault on the only unit which was available.

The new open access service was launched by FirstGroup on 25 May, although there will be only one train in each direction for the time being. The scheduled service is being advertised again today.

Lumo said: ‘Since launch, the vast majority of our services have operated as planned, however, a few services have been cancelled with alternative travel offered to customers.

‘We apologise for the inconvenience and are working closely with Alstom who maintain the trains to ensure minimal disruption.’

The route uses refurbished Class 222 sets cascaded from the Midland Main Line, which were built by Bombardier just over 20 years ago.
