Durham to London King's Cross trains

When you’re planning a train trip from Durham to London, the secret to getting a cheap ticket is Advance single tickets. Make sure you set a Ticket Alert so you know when they’re available and at the best price. You’ll never pay a booking fee when you book direct with us and if you do see a better offer elsewhere then let us know and we’ll refund the difference, that’s our Price Promise.

There is and the journey should take just over three hours.

Three other operators have rail lines going through Durham apart from LNER: CrossCountry, TransPennine Express and Northern Trains.

The major route is The East Coast Mainline and there are other rail lines from LNER, Hull Trains and Grand Central Trains.

Not at the moment unfortunately.

Students studying full time can save up to 40% on LNER tickets via UniDAYS. All you need to do is log in to your UNiDAYS account on our UNiDAYS offer page, then find the discount label on tickets.
