Milk. Honestly. Soak the bit with the biro marks in milk and then wash (assuming it's washable linen).
I thought it was a mad idea but read it on here so tried it and it worked

I've never tried to get biro ink out of a linen jacket in all honesty, but I have brought it off a dralon suite by dabbing (not rubbing) with methylated spirits (the purple one). If that's any help?:wave:0

Yes milk. It was on the New Scientist website a few weeks ago.
Just in case anybody wants the science: -
