Travel Disruption - Storm Ali, 19 - 22 September 2018

On Wednesday 19 September our service was severely disrupted following damage to overhead electric wires at Durham and north of Berwick, as a result of high winds and heavy rain, due to Storm Ali. We have been working closely with Network Rail to enable the required repairs to take place, and to get our train service back to normal.

Saturday 22nd September 2018

We are running a full timetable today, with the exception of the below amendments:

04:44 Newcastle to Kings Cross will start from Darlington at 05:17

07:30 Lincoln Central to London Kings Cross will start from Newark North Gate at 07:57.

Customers affected by the above cancellations are advised to travel on the next available LNER service. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

First Classier

First Class is all about luxury, and boy have we stepped it up.

We’ve refurbed the interiors of our First Class coaches with smooth Scottish leather seats, new carpets and sexy mood lighting. We’ve revamped our lounges with brand new relaxation areas, slick new workspaces and even a few chaise longues (see, luxury). And to make sure you high flyers are finely fed on-board, we’ve created an incredible new and exclusive First Class menu with none other than James Martin.

Now that’s First Class.
