Four train operators have joined forces on a Dragons’ Den-style scheme to support innovation in the rail industry.
LNER, the British Transport Police (BTP) History Group, ‘Raids Over York’ heritage project, and Normandy veteran Ken Cooke have joined together to commemorate the life of Robert Smith, an LNER Railway Police Constable who served at York Railway Station during World War Two.
Rail passengers could save a fortune by booking their train tickets at the same time as the rest of their travel plans, as research carried out by YouGov on behalf of LNER shows many leave it late.
Today, 24 April 2024, LNER is delighted to reveal its new First Class menus, which continue its long-held commitment to championing and celebrating local food and drink producers along its route.
LNER is welcoming new research that reveals travelling by train is not just greener, but also quicker and cheaper than taking the plane.
Every LNER managed station is now safer thanks to the installation of tactile surfacing at platform edges. The raised surfaces create a visual and physical alert to the presence of the platform edge, which are especially helpful to people who are blind or partially sighted.
LNER customers will be able to find the latest journey updates, destination inspiration and more while they are travelling onboard, with the launch of a new one-stop digital information service.
New data reveals assistance was requested on and off trains at LNER’s managed stations more than 250,000 times over the past year – the highest number to date.
