FAQs

  • Anytime tickets on Lumo services only can receive a full refund or an E-Voucher, both are subject to a £5 admin fee.

This will depend on the ticket type that you purchased. LumoFixed, LumoFlex, and LumoAny ticket bookings can be changed to a different time, or date up until the day of travel. However, they are not exchangeable for tickets with other operators and your origin, destination, and route must remain the same. Some tickets are subject to differences in fare price and a £10 admin fee depending on the type of ticket you have booked with us.

Please note that LumoFixed, LumoFlex, and LumoAny tickets cannot be changed after the original travel date has passed. For more information about our ticket types, please visit our tickets page.
