Northern launches flash sale with train tickets for just £1

Train operator Northern has launched a flash sale with more than a million tickets on offer for just £1. The discounted fares are available for journeys across the north of England made online or through the Northern app.

Travel must be between Tuesday 6 September and Thursday 20 October 2022. For services starting in Nottingham and the Wirral, the last day of travel is Thursday 13 October.

The £1 promotional tickets must be booked seven days in advance of travel. Tickets go on-sale at 10am today (Tuesday August 30) at www.northernrailway.co.uk.

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.”

The £1 sale fares are spread across Northern’s nearly 2,000 services a day – with between 5-10% of service capacity up for grabs at the ‘flash sale’ rate. Some peak time services are excluded – as are those that are already expected to be busy in line with events across the region.
