You could try contacting them on Twitter?
This is why I never buy m-tickets and use e-tickets (or paper tickets) instead!
e-tickets are what I would recommend if you only have a limited time before the train.First time for me , and only done it as i have limited time before train . Will contact twitter , cant take screenshots of the app .
Well, yes, why would you want to do otherwise? You activate the ticket when you are going to use it.Apparently you can only activate the ticket on day of travel.

I read this to mean the ticket was purchased shortly before taking the train!First time for me , and only done it as i have limited time before train . Will contact twitter , cant take screenshots of the app .
LNER are not currently offering self-print tickets; e-tickets are a different thing that have not been offered thus far but will be coming very soon.As I have noted elsewhere, LNER can’t currently offer e-tickets (‘self-print’ in their parlance).

Self print and m-tickets are different concepts to the new style e-tickets.From a customer point of view, there’s precious little difference. I’m aware of the nuances, but industry preciousness is fairly irrelevant.

However I agree with you that the (failed) experiments of print at home tickets, m-tickets and any other rubbish inventions, have caused a lot of confusion for passengers.
My advice is to avoid anything that is not either a traditional paper ticket or a genuine , actual e-ticket that does NOT have to be printed or activated.
Do not get anything that is restricted to an app, or has to be printed. They cause all sorts of problems.
It's not unreasonable to want to jump through whatever hoops you need to have the comfort of knowing your ticket is ready for use. If I book tickets in advance I like to have them in my hands as soon as possible. This avoids complications that risk missing the train such as a ticket machine that doesn't work, an internet or phone connection that is down, or your computer/printer playing up just as you want to leave home.Well, yes, why would you want to do otherwise? You activate the ticket when you are going to use it.
For a rather confused 60yr old, can someone tell me (in words of few sylabels) what the difference is between m-tickets and e-tickets please?
I thought they were one and the same?
Thanks

But I think you now mean you won't have long at the station so don't want to be collecting or purchasing there.

I'm confused. What journey are you making and what ticket(s) are you using?Thats why i selected that option , the advance has me having a 12 min connection onto an LNER at Edinburgh from a queen st service . Going to get earlier service from Queen St
I'm confused. What journey are you making and what ticket(s) are you using?
Glasgow to Darlington with a change onto LNER at Edinburgh
Fixed that for youDidn't Trainline start selling electronic tickets about 2 years ago? Many others have followed..
Didn't Virgin Trains start selling electronic tickets about 2 years ago? Many others have followed.
Why has it taken LNER such a very long time to get moving? Seems a little questionable to me, for all of the rhetoric about how well the industry is doing in adopting Smart technologies.
Virgin Trains moved on months ago to issuing Season tickets as electronic tickets, and issuing them to people's phone at ticket offices.
The smart technology is in the barcode rather than the specific medium of delivering the barcode, and LNER has been using barcoded tickets for several years.Why has it taken LNER such a very long time to get moving?
