Northern launches flash sale with train tickets up for grabs from just £1

Rail passengers have the chance to grab bargain train tickets through Northern's flash sale for just £1.

More than a million cheap advance purchase tickets have gone on sale on Tuesday (August 24), which are valid for travel between September 6 and October 22.

The £1 tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Kids travel is half price, meaning youngsters can enjoy trips out for as little as 50p.

The railway operator - which provides services across the region including Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham - travels to destinations such as the Lake District, via Carlisle, and Whitby.

Northern trains also serve the cities of Leeds, Manchester, York and Sheffield, though you will not be able to travel direct to those destinations on a Northern train from the North East.

Mark Powles, Northern’s Customer and Commercial Director, said: "The past 18 months have been tough for all and, as things begin to return to normal, we wanted to give our customers the chance to explore all the North has to offer for the best possible value.

"It also gives our customers the chance to see, first-hand, the palpable improvements we’ve made while they’ve been away.

"Our trains, stations and ticket buying options have never been better and, together with our staff, we are ready to help people across the North to Go Do Your Thing."

The £1 tickets are available when booked in advance through the Northern website or app.

No discount codes are needed, simply search for a journey and, if it’s on one of the Advance Purchase routes, and tickets are available, the reduced rate will be presented.

To book tickets, visit northernrailway.co.uk.
