LNER is to pilot the replacement of Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets on certain flows (Kings Cross to Newcastle, Berwick and Edinburgh) with a new '70-minute Flex' ticket. During the trial there will be only three fare types available: Anytime, 70-min Flex, and Advance. From...

Without fanfare, the 'Book with Confidence' scheme ended last night. Although tickets booked before the closure of the scheme continue to enjoy fee-free changes and refunds, the £10 fee returns for any changes to tickets booked after 1 December, and Advance tickets are no longer refundable to...

I recently went through a post-journey survey for LNER. There were questions on improving communication on station signage when set swaps muck up reservations. The scenario: you hold standard ticket with seat reservation for D12. But a 9-car (ie. A, B, C, G, H, J, K, L, M) is working the...
