When can you use an Anytime ticket?
Short answer: any time, any train. But not any date.
Long answer: every ticket has a start date on it.
If it's an Anytime Day ticket, you have to use it that day. (Actually up until 04.29 that night)
If it’s an Anytime Single, you can use it on the date shown, and on the day after, well, for those of you who are late-starters, you actually have until 04.29 (in the morning) on day three by which to complete your journey
We've removed Anytime Returns from most LNER trains. These have been replaced with Anytime Singles. Visit our tickets page for more information on this change. Some Anytime Returns are available for other operators and on a small number of LNER journeys.
You can break up your journey at a station along the way (a bit of sightseeing or even an overnight stay)
Unused tickets are fully refundable, but we do charge a small admin fee
