Here at Lumo, we understand our customers wish to keep their luggage close by, and that what they are travelling with is important, but depending on the size, this may not always be possible.  We encourage all our customers to travel light for their ease, safety and comfort as space is limited onboard.  We only allow customers to bring with them a maximum of ONE medium sized suitcase (height 63cm x width 41cm x depth 27cm) and ONE small bag, rucksack or holdall, that is small enough to fit either on your lap or under the seat in front of you (please read our Customer Charter, under 'When Travelling with Us' for more information or go to the Onboard Luggage Policy). Any luggage carried that exceeds these limits is carried at our discretion and may be refused or a charge can be imposed for additional items of luggage, or for excessively large or bulky items.

Just like Lumo, some other operators sell tickets which can only be used on their trains. If you have one of these, you either need to travel with the rail operator specified or buy a new train ticket with Lumo. 

If you want to take advantage of our travel deals and great value train fares but have already bought a ticket for another operator, check with the original retailer to see if you can get a refund. 
 
Remember, we do sell train tickets for other operators, you just need to check which services you can use. If you’re not sure, just have a quick chat with one of our Customer Experience Ambassadors before you board our train. They’ll let you know whether your ticket can be used with us.
