Northern is the UK’s second largest train operator and operates nearly 2,500 services a day to over 500 stations across the North of England.

Last December Northern’s new timetable came into effect, and all customers should use the new ‘Check My Timetable’ feature on Northern’s website at https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/check-my-timetable to see changes to train times at their local station. This especially applies to those who made regular journeys on specific train times in the past.

Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “This is our biggest ever Flash Sale – with 50p, £1 and £1.50 fares available across all parts of our network.

“We know our customers travel for a multitude of reasons – so our hope is this sale will make five million of them – be they for days out, weekends away or catch-ups with friends – that bit more affordable.

“Customers should book early to avoid disappointment. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, said: “This flash sale is five million chances to see family, friends or just get out and around for prices as low as 50p.

“We need to get people back on our railways and initiatives like this will do just that.”
