Delivery Options

You can find your LNER booking reference by visiting My account on the LNER website or LNER mobile app and finding the Bookings section.

It can also be found in the footer of your confirmation email where it is called a Transaction reference.

We've got five options: 

• Recommended: eTickets (download them straight to your device or if you prefer a physical ticket you can print an eTicket at home). An eTickets is easier to change or refund so we always recommend this ticket option.

• Ticket on Departure

• First Class Post

• Next Day Special Delivery

Not every type of tickets allow for all these options. Find out more about ticket delivery options here.

An eTicket is a flexible way to collect your tickets and save them to your device. They use a QR code so you don't need to use the LNER app to access these. You can save them straight to your own device or you can print the eTicket if you'd prefer.

Tickets are usually sent out within 24 hours of a booking. If you're worried about your tickets or you've still not received them the day before you travel get in touch.

If you could include your booking reference, it'll really help us out.

We can't post tickets to overseas customers so you have a couple of options.

• You can either use eTickets and download your ticket to your device

If something goes wrong collecting your tickets from the ticket vending machines, (for example there aren't enough tickets or they're poor quality) please speak to the Travel Centre staff at the station and they'll sort it out.

Yes, but they'll need to have the credit or debit card that was used to buy the tickets with them. They'll also need the 8 character alpha-numeric reference shown on your email confirmation. We can't issue tickets without both of these.
