MONEY BACK FOR DELAYS AND UNUSED TICKETS
You can still travel using your ‘Hull Trains only’ ticket on LNER, TransPennine Express and Northern for the same journey route between the same origin and destination stations on the ticket. These operators have kindly agreed to convey ‘Hull Trains only’ ticket holders at no extra charge. If you choose this option you must travel as close to the planned departure time of your original ticket and, if your journey includes travel with LNER you must book a seat reservation with them for the service you intend to travel on. This can be done by contacting LNER using their website by going to a station booking office or by calling them on 03457 225 333. Reservations can be made up to 5 minutes prior to departure, but you are strongly advised to do so as early as possible.
For customers with tickets for travel outside of the National Lockdown or Christmas Travel Window normal refund rules apply.

Advance Purchase Tickets
For passengers who bought Advance tickets and are unable to travel because the Local Covid Alert Level changed to Tier 2, 3 or 4 at the origin or destination of your ticket after you made the purchase, then you can make use of the following 2 options.
1. You can change your journey to another day/and or time without any administration fees (usually a £10 fee applies). Normal Excess Fare rules will apply, if you change to a more expensive service.
2. Or you can exchange your Advance Purchase ticket for a Rail Travel Voucher (RTV). The RTV will be valid for 12 months from the date of issue and may be used as payment towards a new ticket on any service. The RTV may not be exchanged for cash. Where possible RTVs will be issued to customers who purchased an Advance ticket to or from an area affected by local restrictions (local COVID alert level High or Very High in England or affected areas in Scotland or Wales).
Normal refund rules apply to all tickets for areas that were already in local restrictions or lockdown at the time the ticket was purchased.
Anytime, Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets are more flexible and can be changed anytime before you travel. There is no fee to change these tickets, you will only need to pay any difference in fare.
• Log in to your Hull Trains account and select the journey under the 'My Bookings' section.
• At the bottom of the screen you will have the option as a dropdown menu after the words 'I would like to' to amend your tickets.
• Confirm the reason for the change (Change of Journey – new journey booked) and select the new tickets you wish to purchase.
• Any ticket price changes will then be applied and you will need to pay these.
You must retain your original tickets (if these are print at home, make sure you have printed them out too). Alternatively, go to any manned ticket office at a station and they will make these changes for you.
