TRAIN operator Northern has launched a flash sale with over 1,000,000 tickets for journeys across the North of England available for just £1.
The £1 fares are available on bookings made online or through the Northern app, whilst stocks last, for travel between Tuesday 6 September and Thursday, 20 October 2022*.
Tickets go on-sale at 10am TODAY (Tuesday, 30 August 2022) at: www.northernrailway.co.uk
Mark Powles, customer and commercial director at Northern, said: “This is our way of helping to extend the summer holiday feeling by a further six weeks – getting people through until the start of the October half term.
“Whether it’s for a weekend in the historic city of Chester, a night out in Newcastle; a day at the seaside in Scarborough or a walking holiday in the Lake District – these fares will get you where you want to be for less.
“Tickets are on a first-come, first serve basis – so those looking to take advantage of these great £1 fares should book early to avoid disappointment. When they’re gone, they’re gone.”
The £1 promotional tickets must be booked seven days in advance of travel and are only available online, via Northern’s app and website.
The £1 sale fares are spread across Northern’s nearly 2,000 services a day – with between 5-10% of service capacity up for grabs at the ‘flash sale’ rate. Some peak time services are excluded – as are those that are already expected to be busy in line with events across the region.
Northern is the UK’s second largest train operator, with nearly 2,000 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
*Thursday, 13 October for services originating in Nottingham and The Wirral.
