Trains from Luton to Newcastle

Luton to Newcastle by train will firstly take you to London via a Thameslink service, so you can switch to a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train and travel up towards Newcastle in the North East. All London North Eastern Railway (LNER) trains come with a Quiet Coach and First Class carriages as standard. London North Eastern Railway (LNER) trains normally feature a buffet car, called The Foodbar. In it, you can purchase hot and cold food and drink throughout the day (if there's no buffet car then a trolley will be moved through the aisles for an at-seat service). There's also complimentary WiFi available for those travelling in First Class, while passengers seated in Standard can pay a small fee for the service. Visit our Thameslink page to get more information on what onboard services are available on this route.

Luton to Newcastle Route Information

Luton to Newcastle starts off with a Thameslink train to London St Pancras International. You'll then need to make the short walk over to King's Cross station for the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) connection to Newcastle. On this route, firstly you’ll pass Peterborough, where the steam locomotive speed record was set by the ‘Mallard’ at 125mph. If you look closely out of the right window, you’ll see a sign commemorating the feat just past the station. You’ll continue up the East of England before reaching York, the spiritual home of British trains, as this is where you'll find the National Railway Museum. As you travel into Durham, you’ll get to see the edges of the North Yorkshire Moors followed by the Peak District, a series of beautifully scenic views on the way into Newcastle.
