Onboard Entertainment Transforms Travel with Lumo's New Partnership

Lumo, the Newcastle-based train operator, has partnered with Stageworks East West to bring an exciting twist to train travel. Through this collaboration, Lumo will offer passengers a unique onboard experience, featuring live performances from the popular show I Ran With The Gang. This initiative, showcasing 70s hits from the Bay City Rollers, aims to enhance the travel experience for those journeying between London, Newcastle, and Edinburgh.

For travelers, this means more than just a ride from one destination to another. On August 19th, passengers on Lumo’s northbound service will have the rare opportunity to enjoy live music during their journey, adding an unexpected layer of entertainment to their trip. This move reflects a growing trend in the travel industry, where the focus is on creating memorable experiences that start the moment you step aboard.

Visitors heading to Newcastle in August have a wealth of events to explore. One of the highlights is the "NE1’s Music by the Marina" on August 17th, a free music event on the Quayside that features a diverse lineup of local artists. This event is perfect for those who enjoy live outdoor music in a picturesque setting along the River Tyne.

Another must-see event is the Newcastle Jazz Festival, running from August 18th to 21st, which brings an array of jazz performances across the city. This festival is a treat for music lovers, offering everything from big band tributes to contemporary jazz performances.

These events, coupled with the onboard entertainment offered by Lumo, make for a rich and varied travel experience, blending convenience with cultural exploration. With tickets available for travel through the end of the year, passengers can enjoy a journey that is as much about the experience as it is about the destination.
