Important Message

LNER trains will be extremely busy across our route between 17 and 20 June inclusive.

This is due to large numbers of football fans travelling to and from London for the England v Scotland Euros 2021 game on 18 June and the cancellation of some services due to precautionary checks on a number of our Hitachi Class 800 trains.
