Will I still be able to access my existing train tickets and booking information in the LNER app?

Can I choose to get my train tickets posted to me through the LNER app?
Can I choose to get my train tickets posted to me through the LNER app?
No, we do not support posted tickets from the LNER app. Mobile tickets in the form of eTickets are easier to use, can be replaced if lost, and are easier to change or refund. Where we can give you an eTicket for your journey, we will do this by default. If eTicket is not supported for your journey (e.g. cross London journeys) then we will allow ticket collection at the station.
Can I print my tickets purchased through the LNER app?
Can I print my tickets purchased through the LNER app?
If you select eTickets for your journey, then you can print the PDF versions of your tickets if you prefer to have a hard copy. You can access these versions in the My Account area of the LNER app or the LNER website. We also email you a PDF by default if you book eTickets via the app.
