LNER offers host of cut-price train fares from Aviemore and Kingussie

London North Eastern Railway is currently running a seat sale with thousands of tickets available from as little as £5.

LNER has made 200,000 bargain fares available for travel between September 6 and October 15 on routes connecting Scotland, North East England, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and London.

The daily Azuma train east coast service connects Aviemore and Kingussie with Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, London and several points in between as well as Inverness.

David Horne, managing director at LNER, said: “We are pleased to be welcoming back more customers to travel with us this year.

"Our Sensational Seat Sale offers incredible value fares on some of LNER’s most popular routes so people can enjoy some of the fantastic destinations on our route.

“Our services are consistently above 90 per cent of pre-Covid levels as we see more people returning to the railway to travel.

"We continue to monitor demand and this latest offer, combined with making tickets available for Christmas and New Year travel, are just some of the ways we’re welcoming people back to LNER and enjoy all we have to offer.”

Since April 2021 over four million journeys have been made with LNER, more than the total number of journeys completed for the previous 12 months combined.

Journey searches on the LNER website have also seen an increase of 11 per cent compared with July as people increasingly plan and book ahead.

There have been more than 750,000 journey searches on the LNER website since the easing of lockdown.

The LNER Seat Sale covers travel dates when there is typically more availability across September and early October.

The promotional fares are available here until 9am September 1
