Proud that @LNER.co.uk won the Rail Operator award at last night’s Business Travel Awards Europe. The judges praised LNER for demonstrating how commercial innovation, close partnership and traveller engagement can drive meaningful behavioural change from air to rail.

Great news for travellers between London and Leeds! We've launched new super-low fares from just £12, with Railcard holders able to travel for as little as £8. These fares are available Mon-Fri on the 0540 from London and 2110 from Leeds @LNER.co.uk services.

Good luck to everyone running in the Great North Run today! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃 Thank you to everyone who has sponsored the @lner.co.uk team who are running for CALM www.justgiving.com/team/lner-gr...

It’s World Suicide Prevention Day. @LNER.co.uk partners with anti-suicide charity CALM - and this weekend a group of 22 colleagues are raising money for them at the Great North Run. Please help if you can: www.justgiving.com/team/lner-gr...

Today we’re operating 2 Newcastle-Bedford return @lner.co.uk services to provide customers with additional options as our main route is closed for engineering work - I’m pleased to share that the first service arrived into Bedford as planned, closely supervised by members of our planning team!

Out and about this morning - quick round trip from Newark to Lincoln and back on one of our @lner.co.uk direct services. Always fascinating to see some of our last remaining semaphore signals at Swinderby. Love the statue to George Boole, founder of Boolean algebra, at the front of the station.

We’re operating two direct @lner.co.uk services between Newcastle and Bedford to make journeys to/from London easier during the upcoming engineering work closure on Sunday 30 August. They will connect at Bedford with Thameslink services.

Fancy a cab ride in an @lner.co.uk classic Class 91 from London to Newcastle - all while raising money for the Rail Benefit Fund? Check out the auction now - it ends next Friday! go.eventgroovefundraising.com/auction2026/...

Good luck 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️ @lner.co.uk

Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ triumph from @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social - honoured to attend the press night of ‘The Market Deeping Model Railway Club’. Based around the destruction of the club’s 2019 exhibition, this play is brilliant - yes there are trains, but it is really about the people. Runs until 25 July.

Happy retirement to Mike, who is retiring today from his role at Newark Northgate station, after joining our railway in 2005. Mike, aged 82, has helped many of our customers over the years, most recently as part of the team who provides our passenger assistance service. Thank you, Mike! @lner.co.uk

We have implemented a reduced @LNER.co.uk train service today and tomorrow - all Lincoln-London and 50% of Leeds-London services will not run. There are also some amendments to our Hull and Middlesbrough services. We advise do not travel today. Tickets dated today will be accepted until 30 June.

Proud to announce that we are introducing #AskForAngela across our trains and stations - making @LNER.co.uk the first UK train operator to do so. This is about something simple but vital: giving anyone who feels unsafe a discreet way to ask for help and know they’ll be supported.

Here’s something you don’t see every day - an @lner.co.uk Azuma in Bedford. It was on test last night - as we look for new ways to keep people moving when the East Coast route’s shut for engineering work. It could mean a lot more flexibility. Full details👉🏻 news.lner.co.uk/news/lner-az...

Great meeting teams from various local Community Rail Partnerships today. @communityrail.bsky.social do a fantastic job promoting rail & today they’re at York station - along with the @lner.co.uk community team - as part of Community Rail Week. Do have a chat with them if you’re passing through!

The iconic Flying Scotsman service is back in its original 1000 departure slot today from Edinburgh to London 🚄 The service is now back running both ways, with the Scotland-bound train leaving London at 1030. Classic timings. Legendary journeys. And @lner.co.uk’s famous customer service.

The ‘Flying Scotsman’ is back! This morning, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers will mark the return of the iconic ‘Flying Scotsman’ name on the express @lner.co.uk services 10.00 from Edinburgh Waverley and 10.30 from London King’s Cross - scheduled to take just 4h09min capital-to-capital.

Great to don the PPE today and get a behind the scenes tour of the new Darlington station gateway entrance and new platforms 5 & 6. It’s going to be really impressive - and will improve punctuality by reducing the need for southbound services to cross over.

Good to see more people choosing the train in 2025! 👇 From the ORR’s latest statistics on passenger rail usage

Afterwards we laid flowers at the memorial and at 12.23pm, the time of the crash, held a minute’s silence. We remember the four men who died in the crash, the people who were injured and everyone who was touched by the tragedy.
