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.

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

First time using the app to buy a ticket and all trains were cancelled, used the 'no quibble' 2 hour refund and was charged a £5 admin fee. UK trains are run by crooks, what an absolute racket they're running here.
by Matthew Edwards, 2024-11-26

Really impressed by all the quality of life stuff on this app. Easy to see upcoming booked journeys and quickly display my ticket QR code for the next journey. I get told via push notifications my platform number, seat number and any delays - super useful. The app even threw a notification when I'd left it while a payment was confirming - didn't expect that one! Well done to the team who built this app.
by Tom Pearson, 2024-11-19

Reasonably good app and simple to use. The main issue is it doesn't give information on where the train terminate, which is a reasonably important piece of information to have.
