It was great to have coffee together, talk about Lumo&#8217;s current operation and aspirations, and bring to his attention a few teething problems i had experienced, which I know he&#8217;ll be keen to resolve. I managed to get a photo of Martijn helping his team wave off one of their trains at Morpeth, which is below. Then tonight I met Martijn and the Lumo team again, this time at a reception in Newcastle to launch some of the new catering products we&#8217;ll find on board. the reception also afforded opportunity to catch up with a number of people such as Cllr Richard Wearmouth from NCC, Huw Lewis from Nexus, and Toby Hughes MD of Transport North East. All in all a very useful evening.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1914\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1914\" style=\"width: 473px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/23-05-05-Martijn-Gilbert-LUMO-at-Morpeth-2-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"473\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/23-05-05-Martijn-Gilbert-LUMO-at-Morpeth-2-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/23-05-05-Martijn-Gilbert-LUMO-at-Morpeth-2-1024x801.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/23-05-05-Martijn-Gilbert-LUMO-at-Morpeth-2-768x601.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.senrug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/23-05-05-Martijn-Gilbert-LUMO-at-Morpeth-2.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Martijn Gilbert, MD of Lumo, joins a train team member as the Lumo train waits at Morpeth<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 5th May, I had a catch-up with Martijn Gilbert, MD of Lumo, at Morpeth station.
