Book your train travel on the GNER Web site once you have found the right variety of services and routes to fit your needs. You can also book train travel from London to York by calling Rail Europe at (888) 382-RAIL or by visiting the link below.
Consider using a trusted travel agent to do all of the work for you if you're feeling unsure about all of the details. One can usually be recommended by the staff of the London hotel where you're staying.
Buy tickets directly from the Kings Cross Station, where you'll be departing on your trip to York. Use the automated machines instead of the manned ticket booths if you want to save time.
Choose to upgrade your accommodation from second-class to first if you need to use your laptop or simply need to take a nap before an important business meeting. AC outlets are more plentiful in first-class carriages, and seating is more spacious.
Consider buying a restricted ticket, which can't be exchanged or refunded, to offset the cost of your first-class upgrade. This is a useful option if you know your travel plans are not going to change at the last minute.
Visit the National Rail Museum, housed in the old power depot at York Station, and see more than 100 historic locomotives.
