I work on the rail and I'm embarrassed how often people go out of their way to make life difficult.
Last train of the day, who cares? Get on. Should be the approach

A load will bail out at Newcastle. I've never been on Lumo usually use LNER not likely to now with anything more than a carrier bag

It did quieten down a bit at Newcastle.
Won’t use them again for the sake of saving £40.

I've bought Muckboots once before. They look nice but the quality is absolute. Their UK Trustpilot reviews are quite interesting.
I've found the cheap ones from Homebase are more comfortable and last about 10 times longer.
I've muckboots and the quality is great. I didn't pay anywhere near that price though.
We used them a week ago, Morpeth to Edinburgh. Not because of price, just a convenient time. On time, did the job well for standard travel and importantly in recent times, their drivers haven't been involved in strike action. Whilst LNER have been cancelling trains, Lumon have been reliable.
Good to know about luggage restrictions but I wouldn't dismiss them based on this experience alone.

I would because of their attitude about it.
Train crew switched at Newcastle and when I got off in Edinburgh the new crew asked me if I’d been spoken to about my clubs, I said yes and she the. Proceeded to give me another lecture.
Just being on time (basically doing the bare minimum expected) is not enough.

In the paralympics, why did our relay team set a new 'Area Record'?
It's a British and European record!
Where did this 'area record' eminate from?

The fact that well after midnight someone could be bothered about your golf clubs instead of getting off home beggars belief but I'm not surprised. Then they wonder why the railway is held in low regard

When you get all that malarkey, plus "local attractions" but no shot of, or from the alleged balcony.

Excuse me being simple minded here, but the reason Lumo are cheap is because they fill their bike and luggage spaces with seats.
They make it very clear in all their T&Cs that you can't take anything bigger than hand luggage.
Who is being unreasonable here?
If I turned up at the gates at Luton with a set of golf clubs and a 20kg suitcase and they didn't let me in would anyone think it was easyjet fault?

Pizza Hut buffet with the kids, they managed two slices each so it was once again left to dad to pick up the slack and get our monies worth. Hard life.

They have luggage stores and they didn’t seem to mind people with massive suitcases getting on and putting th in the luggage stores. One guy was struggling with a case about as big as him whereas my golf bag can be lifted with one hand. Not to mention that my golf bag takes up considerably less space.
I think the easyjet analogy is a bit disingenuous as you would have to book clubs specifically with them.
I bought my tickets via Trainline and it didn’t mention a single thing about luggage restrictions.
