Monthly Season Tickets

If you bought your Season Ticket directly from us, we can generally give you a refund under the following circumstances:

• In the case of a Season Ticket valid between one and ten months: provided there are seven days (or more) validity remaining.
• In the case of a weekly Season Ticket: provided there are three days (or more) validity remaining.

We are currently working to normal timelines for processing Season ticket refunds of 14 working days. You can see an estimate of your Season ticket refund using our Season ticket refund calculator.

• Please note that annual Season Ticket refunds are calculated on the difference between the price you paid and the cost of tickets for the time you actually used it.
• Because annual tickets offer significant savings compared to paying weekly or monthly,  refunds are not made pro rata, the calculation is based on the refundable value over 40 weeks instead of 52, as the ticket price is based on the cost of 40 weekly tickets.

If you travel on a LNER service that's late by 30 minutes or more, we'll give you compensation.

Season tickets refunds are calculated on the difference between the price you paid and the cost of a ticket for the time you actually used it. This means the amount of compensation for each journey is:

• for a weekly Season Ticket, the price of the ticket divided by 10
• for a monthly Season Ticket, the price of the ticket divided by 40
• for an annual Season Ticket, the price of the ticket divided by 464

Yes, but it'll have to be out of the wallet so you can pop it in the gate. If your Season Ticket gets damaged, just ask for a replacement at the Travel Centre you bought it from.

If your ticket is damaged and won't let you through the gate, take the opportunity to replace it with a Smartcard. The durable plastic lasts longer than paper tickets and Season tickets can be added online or at a Travel centre.

Ask at the Travel centre and they'll be able to help you.

If you're in a hurry and your Season ticket is still legible, speak to a member of staff and they'll be able to open the gate for you.
