Edinburgh to London budget train now has new Lumo Eats digital food menu

Edinburgh to London budgets train is now offering new Lumo Eats food menu.

The new Lumo Eats digital menu gives Edinburgh passengers to book in-journey snacks from brands like Upper Crust that is then delivered to their seat by staff.

The menu is available on the train company's website, with options including items from SSP brands including The Pasty Shop and Upper Crust.

The hot meals will be brought in on “hot-bags” to Lumo trains at London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations, from where staff will deliver them to customers in their seats shortly before departure.

Customers must be boarding in either London or Edinburgh to take advantage of the hot meal pre-order service, but other food items including salads, snacks and drinks will also be available for pre-order, and will be served to customers from the onboard trolley during the journey.
