Travel With Confidence

We have a specialist cleaner onboard for the whole journey, our cleaning teams focus on those areas that customers and staff are more likely to touch, such as toilets, handrails, door buttons and tables. We have also introduced a powerful "virucidal" sanitiser to assist in the fight against Covid-19. Platform 7 at Paragon Station has a hand sanitiser dispenser installed and we have also ensured each of our trains has soap and running water in our onboard toilets so you can maintain your own hand hygiene.  

Wear a Face Covering

Following government guidelines you must wear a face covering on all trains and in stations in England. A face covering is a covering of any type which covers your nose and mouth. Children under 11 are not required to wear a face covering. For more information, please see the current government guidance on face coverings. To make your journey safer, British Transport Police are issuing £200 fines for people who do not wear a face covering and are not exempt. More details on exemptions can be found here.

We do recommend keeping up to date with the official guidance and updates on the Government website in relation to localised lockdowns. The Government have introduced a 3 Local Covid Alert Level system in England - Medium (tier 1), High (tier 2) and Very High (tier 3). 

You can find out which tier an area is in by using the postcode checker on the Government website.

If you are travelling to or from an area affected by the above Local Covid Alert Levels, please follow official Government guidelines which can be found here.
Following government guidelines you must wear a face covering on all trains and in stations in England. A face covering is a covering of any type which covers your nose and mouth. Children under 11 are not required to wear a face covering. For more information, please see the current government guidance on face coverings. To make your journey safer, British Transport Police are issuing £200 fines for people who do not wear a face covering and are not exempt. Find exemption details here.
Yes, we ask that our passengers book in advance as we have reduced the capacity on board to allow for social distancing measures. When making an Advance ticket booking, you will be allocated a seat reservation but you will not be given a specific carriage and seat number. When boarding please follow the traffic light system, clearly marking which seats can and cannot be used.

• Green tickets indicate window seats where one person per row is allowed
• Yellow tickets indicate seats for "bubble" groups of 2-4
• Red tickets indicate seats that cannot be occupied
We normally work with the industry to confirm any timetable changes 12 weeks before the travel date, however due to the current Covid situation making short-term changes to rail timetables nationwide, we are unable to meet this deadline. 

Therefore, some cheaper Advance tickets are not available as early as usual. Details of upcoming affected dates can be found on our Engineering Works page. Don’t forget there’s always our Cheap Tickets Alerts, where we’ll notify you as soon as Advance fares are on sale.
Whilst contactless payment is preferable, we are still accepting cash on board. We do encourage our customers to book online in advance, prior to boarding.
To help manage social distancing onboard, we’ve reduced the seating capacity on our trains. We will clearly mark out which seats you can sit in that are socially distanced.

We are asking all staff and customers to keep on top of good hand hygiene and request people to follow advice to avoid unnecessary contact and regularly wash hands for 20 seconds – especially before and after travelling. Although we don’t have hand sanitiser available for customers on board, there are handwashing facilities on our trains. You can find where our toilet facilities are located on board here. To minimise contact, and where possible, we’d suggest you bring hand sanitiser along with you. Both Hull Paragon Station and London King’s Cross have introduced hand sanitising points. 
Yes, our team are committed to providing help for those that need it when travelling. Please use our online form to contact our Passenger Assist team directly. Staff on board and at stations will do their best to accommodate any assistance requests, but we do recommend booking your assistance request in advance so any necessary measures can be put in place for you. 
Initially there will not be any catering provision on our services in order to maintain social distancing guidelines and protect our customers and staff. We recommend you bring your own snacks and drinks. 

We are however reviewing the catering situation on a regular basis as we know it is important to our customers. 
You can find detailed information for stations along the Hull Trains route as well as any UK National Rail station on our Station Information page. See useful details on things like ticket offices, accessibility and car parks.
