Tried out lumo for a trip to London to Edinburgh. Happened to be on strike day, was a very full train.

Pros:

fast
somewhat cost effective
didn't have to deal with airports

Cons:

not enough luggage space
my "window" seat, only had a bit of window
my seat was not very comfortable, seat faced away from travel and had party if the plastic moulding of the carriage jabbing me in the side

Any one else used them? What were your thoughts?

I did a first class ride round trip by rail to Edinburgh some time ago in 2022, way there was LNER, the way back was lumo. I didn't have any issues, seats were wider and it was very quiet.
