Our favourite features to make your travel experience as quick and easy as possible:

CHOOSE YOUR OWN SEAT
Whether you have a favourite seat or you just want to make sure you’ve got a table to eat your bacon sandwich at, the LNER app makes it quick and easy to choose your spot onboard.

LIVE TRAVEL UPDATES
We know you don’t like it when trains are delayed, we don’t either! But wouldn’t it feel better if you knew before getting to the station? That way, you’ve got time for an extra drink in the pub or to pick up a coffee. LNER Assistant tells you what platform your train will be on, if there’s any changes to your journey and helpful information like changes to food & drink onboard.

AUTOFILL STATION SUGGESTIONS
Choose your departure station and destination in just a few taps. When you’re searching for a ticket, we’ll suggest the nearest stations to you based on your location.

QUICK CHECKOUT
Whether you’re booking a last-minute ticket on the platform or you can’t find your card, one-click payments make life easier. Choose to remember your payment details for next time.

LNER (London North Eastern Railway) replaced Virgin Trains East Coast in 2018. Our history dates back to GNER (Great North Eastern Railway).

Ratings and reviews

Used the app on a recent trip to the UK (I'm from the US). I was able to easily take trains around the UK including stops in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, and London. Easy to book tickets and select seats. Had some small troubles finding tickets after buying them but quickly got used to where things could be found. Will definitely use on my next trip.

Still broken after the most recent update, the Google calendar integration is back but very unfriendly to use. There's also still no ability to add journeys to SeatFrog as before and the option to add tickets to Google Wallet still only allows you to add the outward ticket and not a return, and states the ticket is already added if you try and add the return separately. All of this previously worked in the earlier version of the app and these issues still aren't fixed properly. Not good LNER.

Can't give 0 stars so have to switch from 5 to 1. Terrible now, constant "technical issues" both on app and website. Can't check on ticket refund status, chat doesn't work "technical issues", can't change seat on when booking, can't change payment card etc, etc, etc. Used to be an easy reliable app, not anymore
