About this company

London North Eastern Railway Limited, trading as LNER, operates inter-city passenger rail services along the East Coast Main Line, connecting London King's Cross with destinations including York, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Inverness. The company sells train tickets, season tickets and railcards, and provides onboard services such as food, drink and Wi-Fi, alongside a mobile app for journey updates and bookings. It took over operations from Virgin Trains East Coast in June 2018. LNER is publicly owned, headquartered in York, with its parent company being DfT Operator Limited, the government's public sector rail owning group, which itself is owned by the Secretary of State for Transport. The registered company operates the rail franchise rather than owning the wider group's other train operators.
