Compensation for cancelled trains

If your LNER train is cancelled and your ticket’s not been used, you can apply for a full refund, and no administration fee. What’s more, if you decided not to travel because you heard about the disruption to service, you can still claim.

Claim for tickets bought somewhere else

If you want to apply for a refund for a ticket that you bought at a station, or another outlet or website, you need to follow the claim up with them.

Print out and complete our refund form (PDF, 37kb), then post it to the place of purchase, along with your ticket. You need to do this within 28 days of the ticket’s expiry date.

Compensation for delayed trains

Claim if your train has been delayed by 30 minutes or more?

It's easy to claim compensation if your train has been delayed for 30 minutes or more online. Start your claim on the Delay Repay claim form.

Refunds if you can't travel

If you decide not to travel, you may be eligible for a refund. It all depends on the kind of ticket you purchased. To claim you need to return your unused ticket within 28 days of the expiry date. 

If you're looking for more advice about travelling related to Coronavirus you can find out more information on our COVID-19 travel advice page.

The outbound portion of a return ticket is only valid for a refund if you still have the return half unused.

How to claim if you can't travel

  1. Sign In to My Account
  2. Click My Bookings
  3. Select View against the ticket transaction that you want to refund
  4. Click the Refund button
  5. Tell us the reason for the refund request
  6. Click Submit request

If you opted to collect your ticket via Ticket on Departure from a self-service ticket machine and haven’t collected your tickets yet, we can get on with processing your refund without them (as long as you want a refund for all the tickets in that booking).

The amount of the refund depends on the ticket you purchased, and the terms and conditions of that ticket.

How long will it take for my refund to be processed?
