Northern has announced a flash sale, with five million train tickets for journeys across the North of England available from as little as 50p. The sale runs until 16.00 on Friday January 13, and is valid for travel between Tuesday, January 17 and Friday, March 10 on Northern services only.

The tickets are ideal for travelling to the Doncaster on February 11/12 for our show, The Festival of British Railway Modelling. Tickets for the show are now live.

There are one million 50p tickets, three million £1 tickets and another one million £1.50 tickets up for grabs from the Northern website, or via the Northern app. As of January 12, a further 500,000 tickets have been released as a part of the sale, available until 16.00 on Friday January 13.

Sample fares across the train operator’s network include:

Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “This is our biggest ever flash sale – with 50p, £1 and £1.50 fares available across all parts of our network.

“We know our customers travel for a multitude of reasons – so our hope is this sale will make five million of them – be they for days out, weekends away or catch-ups with friends – that bit more affordable. Customers should book early to avoid disappointment. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

Northern’s new timetable came into effect in December 2022 and all customers, especially those who have made regular journeys on specific train times, are advised to use the new 'Check My Timetable' feature on Northern’s website to see changes specific to their local station.
