Our favourite features to make your travel experience as quick and easy as possible:

CHOOSE YOUR OWN SEAT
Whether you have a favourite seat or you just want to make sure you’ve got a table to eat your bacon sandwich at, the LNER app makes it quick and easy to choose your spot onboard.

LIVE TRAVEL UPDATES
We know you don’t like it when trains are delayed, we don’t either! But wouldn’t it feel better if you knew before getting to the station? That way, you’ve got time for an extra drink in the pub or to pick up a coffee. LNER Assistant tells you what platform your train will be on, if there’s any changes to your journey and helpful information like changes to food & drink onboard.

AUTOFILL STATION SUGGESTIONS
Choose your departure station and destination in just a few taps. When you’re searching for a ticket, we’ll suggest the nearest stations to you based on your location.

QUICK CHECKOUT
Whether you’re booking a last-minute ticket on the platform or you can’t find your card, one-click payments make life easier. Choose to remember your payment details for next time.

LNER (London North Eastern Railway) replaced Virgin Trains East Coast in 2018. Our history dates back to GNER (Great North Eastern Railway).

Very clean user interface. Most, if not all, of LNER's excellent competitions (such as win a year's free travel) can only be entered through the app. That in itself is a good enough reason for downloading it. Moreover, it has never let me down, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Like many I installed the app for the £5 promise.. it turned up that's an imaginary £5 that there is no way you can use due to countless "terms and conditions" that may allow you to use it on a £7950 ticket that you can find somewhere else for £3.50. Don't bother

At last! A site that works reasonably well 'though it would have been reassuring to know that, specifically, my senior railcard had been taken into account. That could have been made clearer and saved some bemusement.
