A simple code can get students 50% off train tickets when travelling with TransPennine Express.

Students with a 16-25 railcard can enjoy 50% off train tickets instead of 1/3 off by using code TPESTUDENT.

Tickets must be booked directly with TPE but means that you can travel between Liverpool and Leeds for as little as £6.60 and between Edinburgh and Newcastle for just £4.70.

“Whether you’re heading off to university, visiting friends or just fancy exploring a new city, you can now bag yourself a bargain with our student offer.

“With our network serving more than 40 universities across the north of England and Scotland, we’re delighted to be able to offer 50% savings on rail travel to students.”
