Move fast, northerners! As a nation we often despair over the outrageous cost of train travel. But for four days only, train tickets across the north of England are being sold dirt cheap.
Northern Railway are offering one million adult advance tickets for just 50p per trip while a further 4 million are available for £1 or £2. Kids tickets will be priced at half the adult fare. The deal includes routes to cities including Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle.
The deal will close at 6pm on Thursday, September 7 but could end earlier if all tickets sell out. So, best be quick – once they’re gone, they’re gone.
There are, of course, a few Ts and Cs. The tickets will only be valid for travel from September 11 to October 20. Railcard discounts don’t apply and there isn’t an option for passengers to split their journeys up.
You can purchase the tickets online or via the Northern App. However, some weekend and peak routes are excluded from the deal. These are:
Barrow/Windermere – Airport (Sundays)
Leeds – Lincoln (Saturdays)
Leeds – Nottingham (Fridays/Saturdays)
Leeds – York (Saturdays)
Sheffield – Manchester (Saturdays)
As well as am/pm peak services into key cities (Monday-Friday)
