LNER Green Guide
LNER puts its heart into journeys every day to bring you the very best experience in rail travel.
We're working hard to reduce waste and carbon emissions to ensure our customers can enjoy themselves, safe in the knowledge that train travel has had as little impact on the environment as possible.
That's why we've created the LNER Green Guide; a one-stop shop to staying sustainable when you visit any of our green travel destinations.
By choosing LNER, you're already halfway towards helping tackle tourism related climate change.
Compared with cars and planes, rail is unquestionably the most environmentally friendly way to travel and plays a critical role in helping the UK achieve its decarbonisation targets.
The LNER Green Guide is filled with tips and contributions from local people, green tourism organisations and LNER colleagues, giving you the inside track on the very best eco-friendly attractions and sustainable places to stay, eat and drink in these three fantastic cities.
Don’t forget to share your trip on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, making sure you tag @LNER with #GreenGuide so everyone can see everything you’ve been up to.
