Passengers can get train travel for just £1 as Northern launches a flash sale, with more than 1 million tickets available.

The fares can be booked online or via the Northern app for travel between Tuesday 6th September and Thursday 20th October (Thursday 13th October for services starting in Nottingham and The Wirral).

The tickets, which go on sale at 10 am today, 30th August 2022, must be booked seven days in advance, but some peak time services are excluded as they are already expected to be busy.

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.”
