LNER urges passengers to book ahead with 103,000 bookings made for Easter break

London North Eastern Railway is advising passengers to book tickets now for travel planned over the Easter holidays in order to avoid disappointment

The East Coast route is already proving to be a popular choice as 350,000 bookings have already been made between the 8th and 25th of April 2022 with over 103,000 bookings made for the Easter weekend. The most popular journeys seem to be to and from London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness!

London North Eastern Railway (LNER) will be running a full timetable as no planned engineering works will be taking place over the entirety of its 956-mile network which connects majors cities and town between Scotland, Northern England, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and London King’s Cross.

David Horne, Managing Director at LNER, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming more and more people back to rail and our services during the Easter period and school holidays are proving really popular. We’re urging people to book early to avoid disappointment and we’re look forwarding to welcoming customers onboard to enjoy our legendary customer experience.”

Onboard LNER trains, passengers can enjoy a wide selection of locally sourced food and drink served direct to their seat using the new complimentary menu in First Class and the innovative Let’s Eat At Your Seat service for Standard.

Customers booking via the LNER website or app can have the benefit of LNER’s loyalty rewards scheme – LNER Perks. The scheme has seen over 350,000 people sign up and offers 2% credit back on LNER journeys and £5 credit just for signing up. Further benefits of the scheme include the recently added exclusive offers for members with even more incentives set to come.
