Upgrades offered on EMR services

East Midlands Railway has partnered with Seatfrog to allow Standard Class ticket holders to bid for an upgrade to First Class - starting from just £10.

The Seatfrog app allows passengers to bid for a last-minute seat upgrade beginning 24 hours before departure and up to 30 minutes before the train is due to leave. They can also buy an instant upgrade once they are on the train.

Availability is dictated by expected loadings on selected peak and off-peak services on EMR’s inter-city route between London, Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Sheffield.
