Travelling with your pets

We love having your pets on our trains, but we do have a few rules when they travel with LNER.

What are the rules for bringing a pet onboard?

  • Up to two dogs, cats or other small domestic animals can travel with you for free.
  • Please keep your pets and carry cases safely out of the aisles
  • And keep dogs on leads throughout your journey and off the seats.

Bringing additional pets? For each additional pet, you may have to pay up to a maximum of £5 for each journey.

Travelling with an assistance dog?

If you’re travelling with your assistance dog and you also need assistance, let us know before you travel.

  • Fill in our Assisted Travel online form here
  • Or call our Assisted Travel team on 03457 225 225 before 10pm the night before you travel at the latest.
