Engineering work
Engineering work is an essential part of maintaining and upgrading our rail network. Here you'll find all the planned engineering work scheduled to impact LNER services over the next 12 weeks.
Sometimes we may need to make additional short notice changes and recommend you still check your journey as close as possible to your date of travel.
If we do change things after you have bought a ticket, you can either use any reasonable alternative LNER service, or claim a full refund.
