Northern has announced plans to reward 1,000 of its season ticket customers with the cost of their commute.
The train operator, which serves Manchester as well as other major cities across the North of England including Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield, is launching the ‘Big Commuter Giveaway’’ promotion to anyone who buys a daily, weekly or annual season ticket during September or October. It is hoped the move will encourage more people to ditch the car and take the train to work.
Anyone who buys a season ticket during that time will be entered into a draw from which 500 people a month will win back the cost of their ticket up to the value of £100.
