RE: LNER (Formerly Virgin Trains East Coast & East Coast)
LNER & Nexus are currently in talks for staff to have discounted travel for all employees in Tyne & Wear on their respective services. Nexus had reportedly asked for Free Travel on LNER Services in initial discussions however this was rejected by LNER as Nexus weren't willing to do the same for LNER staff on Tyne & Wear Metro plus this would be more costly from a financial aspect for LNER.
