Description
British multi-national transport group "First Group" unveils a new no-frills, eco-friendly rail service connecting London to Edinburgh, during a press event at London’s King’s Cross station. Called "Lumo", the train is presented as "100% electric" and a carbon-neutral, zero-emission alternative to flying that looks to appeal to "increasingly environmentally-conscious” passengers ahead of the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow at the end of the month. The train made its inaugural voyage as part of the press event on Thursday and passenger trains will begin on Monday. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
