Cancel a reserved seat or bike space

Unfortunately we do not have the space to carry Tricycles, cycle trailers or double deck cycles.  However, tandems are accepted if they conform to the following specifications and have two reservations: 100cm in height x 60cm in width x 260cm

No. Trains are not permitted to carry any petrol–powered vehicles, for safety reasons.

Travelling with LNER?

Yes, we love to be green so you can carry your bike free of charge on LNER trains. You can make a reservation online when you book your ticket. If you booked elsewhere or already have your ticket, you can now make a reservation on our seat and bike reservation tool.

Please note that spaces are limited and subject to availability.

Travelling with another train operator?

If you're travelling with another train operator on your journey you will need to check their policy. You can do this by visiting the National Rail website.
