LNER travel advice

• Luggage: Passengers can bring up to three items onboard LNER services for free, including a holdall, cabin case or large suitcase. Luggage should be stowed in overhead racks, at end-of-carriage luggage stacks, or under your seat, keeping aisles and doorways clear.
• Bicycles: LNER welcomes standard bikes and e-bikes onboard its services with a free reservation. Space, however, is limited, so it’s best to book ahead, especially for travel during peak hours. Folding bikes can be brought on board at any time and on any service, as long as they are folded and stored as luggage. E-scooters are not permitted.
• Children: Kids under five can travel free of charge, while children aged 5-15 only pay 50% on standard and first-class fares. Older children can also access half-price tickets with a 16-17 Saver railcard.
• Pets: Passengers may bring up to two pets on board free of charge. Dogs must be kept on a lead and off seats, and smaller animals should be transported securely in a pet carrier.
• Passenger Assist: If you require help with boarding, handling luggage or navigating stations, you can book Passenger Assist in advance, either at the time of booking, via the app or by requesting help from staff at major stations on the day of travel.

CrossCountry train classes 

• Standard Class: Whether you’re travelling on a high-speed Voyager or a regional Turbostar, onboard CrossCountry services you can enjoy spacious seating and free Wi-Fi throughout your journey. Most services also include a trolley or at-seat catering service, so you can sit back and unwind with a snack or drink as the scenery rolls by.
• First Class: Travel from York to Edinburgh Waverley first class for a quieter, more spacious experience with reclining seats, generous legroom, and tables ideal for working or relaxing. Complimentary drinks and light refreshments are available on most services.

CrossCountry train travel advice

• Luggage: As storage space can be limited on some services, CrossCountry advises travelling with just one medium-sized bag. On Voyager trains, larger suitcases can be stored in the dedicated racks found in Coaches D and J.
• Bicycles: Both standard bikes and electric bikes are welcome on board CrossCountry services with a free reservation, though spaces are limited, so it’s recommended to book early. Folding bikes do not require a reservation and can be brought on board at any time as long as they are folded and stowed as luggage.
• Children: Kids under five can travel free of charge, while children aged 5-15 get 50% off standard adult fares. Families can save even more with a Family & Friends railcard, offering a third off adult fares and 60% off children’s fares, and 16- and 17-year-olds can also save 50% on tickets with a 16–17 Saver railcard.
• Pets: Passengers may bring up to two pets on board CrossCountry trains free of charge. Dogs, however, must be kept on a lead or transported securely in a pet carrier.
• Passenger Assist: If you need a hand with boarding, carrying luggage, or getting around stations, you can pre-book Passenger Assist (either through the app or at the time of purchasing your tickets) or request assistance from staff on the day of travel.
