The new West Coast rail service being launched by Lumo now has an official start date.

The service is confirmed to begin on the 25th May, and in celebration, Lumo has partnered with Stirling Pride to give away ‘golden tickets’.

This particular Pride event is the first event that Lumo is supporting along the new route .

The new service offers big savings with tickets starting from £29.90 between London Euston and Stirling.

Award-winning drag queen Cherry West, who will appear at this year’s Stirling Pride, has been surprising people with the chance to win a journey.

“This is a very exciting moment in our journey to launching a pioneering new service for the West Coast. Customers can look forward to simple, low-cost fares with an excellent experience on our services between Scotland, the North West of England and London.

“I’m very proud that we’re already forging some meaningful connections in the communities on the route. Thank you to the team at Stirling Pride for helping us to reveal the news of our official start date in true Lumo style, by giving people in the city a chance to join us on a journey very soon.”
