Forget the car, groups of 3-9 get 20% off
If you’re travelling in a group of 3-9 people, you can save 20% off LNER Advance tickets.
That means you’ll all have more money to spend on lunch, coffees, rounds, or whatever else takes your fancy when you arrive and less time worrying about where to park.
More than nine of you? We can still offer you a great saving but through our Group Travel Service. Check out the details here.
How 3-9 group savings work
You can get this great group saving off Advance fares for groups of 3-9 people direct on this website, at our stations or through selected third parties.
Choose your tickets as normal then look for the word "discounted" and the price tag icon next to the fare.
The offer is applicable to all LNER Advance fares in both Standard and First Class – so you can make an even bigger saving.
Please note that our group travel discount is different from that known as 'GroupSave' and can only be used when your journey involves travelling (primarily) on LNER services. GroupSave discounts are not available for travel with LNER but are available when travelling with participating operators. GroupSave discounted tickets are not available via LNER platforms.

Groups – even small ones – can get quite talkative at times. But there may be occasions when groups of seats are only available together in the Quieter Coach (usually coach B in Standard on a 225 or coach H for an Azuma). We’ll do our best to book you into other coaches - unless the Quieter Coach is specified – but this may not always be possible on your chosen train(s). So if you do find you’re booked into the Quieter Coach, please respect the rules and be considerate of our other passengers.
