Open-access train operator Lumo will be selling coffee at half price to Monday morning passengers after England’s match against Mexico in the men’s football World Cup.

Lumo will sell its Ringtons coffee with a 50% discount throughout Monday (6 July), knowing that many travellers will have stayed awake to watch the match, which kicks off at 01:00 British Summer Time.

The match takes place in Mexico City, where the kick-off time will be 18:00.

If one of the teams wins during normal time, the match will finish at around 03:00, but if it goes to extra time and then a penalty shoot-out, it will end even later. There are also concerns that it may be delayed by storms.

The coffee offer applies on all Lumo’s services, even those in Scotland, whose team exited the World Cup in the group stage.

Lumo runs services between the North East of England, Glasgow, Edinburgh and London King’s Cross. It recently began running services on the West Coast Main Line, between London Euston and Stirling, via stations including Milton Keynes Central, Carlisle and Preston.

Last week, in contrast, Lumo gave out cold refreshments to passengers, distributing blue ice pops to help counter the heatwave.

“We know that many of our customers will have had a late night cheering on the Three Lions, so a Ringtons coffee will be the perfect way for them to stir up some energy and take on their Monday.

“Ringtons have been a brilliant partner since we started our East Coast services in 2021, sharing our commitment to quality and giving our customers the best service possible. Teaming up with the team there to bring a little Monday boost for England fans is the least we can do. Our Customer Experience Ambassadors are looking forward to welcoming them onboard.”
