Good luck to everyone taking part in the Great North Run today! Eleanor will be cheering you on... Newcastle station and transport connections are likely to be busier than usual, so please leave extra time for your journey.

As we mark World Suicide Prevention Day, more than twenty LNER colleagues are gearing up for the Great North Run this weekend. They've secured thousands of pounds in sponsor donations for CALM, contributing to the £780,000 we've raised towards their vital work since our partnership began in 2018.
