London North Eastern Railway is one of the UK’s leading long-distance train operators. Our services connect London King’s Cross directly with many destinations in the East Midlands, Yorkshire, North East England and Scotland operating on a 936 mile route. We operate more than 1000 services each week and help more than 22 million customers reach their destinations every year.
We are driven by our purpose ‘we put heart into everyone’s journey’ and have four strong values that describe, guide and celebrate the behaviours we want to see in each other:
Being an employer that is inclusive matters to us
At LNER we are passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, representative of the communities we serve and are creating ways to inspire diverse talent to join LNER. In practice this means working with schools, creating opportunities through work placements and apprenticeships, offering career progression and creating a great place to work for all.
Having a workforce that is diverse and inclusive is a strategic priority for LNER. We have a gender balanced Executive Committee and in recognition of our commitment to date, we were presented with the ‘Highest Gender Balanced Workforce Award’ at the 2019 Women in Rail Awards.
We are proud to support our people through all stages of their journey, investing and encouraging them to build a career to match their ambitions and are working with organisations such as Inclusive Employers, Working Families and Stonewall to create an inclusive culture where our people feel able to be themselves and can bring their best.
