Thousands of train passengers are set to have the costs of their rail travel paid back in a massive giveaway.

Northern Rail is giving customers the chance to win back the cost of rail travel worth up to £200.

The pledge is part of a half a million-pound giveaway which runs until January 2020.

You can qualify for the giveaway if you renew your Northern Smart season ticket or if you switch from a paper season ticket to a Smart season ticket.

Northern have launched the giveaway to coincide with new the new 101 trains being rolled out across their network.

David Brown, Northern's Managing Director, said: "This giveaway comes quickly after the unprecedented success of our summer promotion in which we sold more than 80,000 10p tickets in fewer than five days.

"The customer adaptation of Smart tickets has gone over and above our expectations. Now rolled out across our entire network, and with this giveaway, we will see many more people moved from paper season tickets to the Smart version with the added incentive of possibly winning back the value of their ticket."
