Booked elsewhere?

If you've bought your tickets at one of our stations or through another company and need a refund, we're here to help!

Booked your ticket from an LNER station?

If you have bought your ticket(s) from an LNER Travel Centre or LNER Ticket Machine, we ask that you visit your nearest LNER Travel Centre to apply for a refund. 

If you are unable to visit a LNER Travel Centre, please email our Customer Services Team.

  • Email your request to customers@lner.co.uk. Subject line in your email must only be: Travel Centre Refund
  • Email a picture of your ticket cut up with the words Voided written on it (picture sizes can be up to 3.5mb)

If you are eligible for a cash refund, our Customer Services team will arrange a BACS transfer and will inform you how to do this. Refunds can take up to 28 days to process. 

Booked with another retailer?

If you have booked somewhere else (for example with a third-party retailer, another train company or another Travel Centre), we ask that you go to the website or Travel Centre you bought your tickets from. 

You can find the details of other train companies on the National Rail Enquiries website

If you bought your tickets with The Trainline, please visit their website to find out how to claim.
