Great British Rail Sale returns with over three million discounted tickets available for Northern customers
Northern customers are being encouraged to plan ahead and make the most of millions of discounted train tickets as the Great British Rail Sale returns this month.
From January 6 to January 12, customers will be able to snap up heavily reduced advance fares for travel between January 13 and March 25 - with many journeys starting or finishing on Northern’s network included in the sale.
The train operator is the second largest in the UK, with 2,650 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
This year, the nationwide promotion will see more than three million tickets made available, with savings of 50 per cent or more on a wide range of routes.
This includes discounts on routes like Blackpool North to Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street to Wigan North Western.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director for Northern, said: "Rail is already one of the best and most affordable ways to get around the North and beyond, and the return of the Great British Rail Sale gives our customers a brilliant opportunity to save money while enjoying more days out and trips further afield.
"With millions of discounted tickets available and fares as low as £1 between some of the key northern towns and cities, it’s the perfect time to plan ahead and make the most of what our region has to offer.”
Tickets are subject to availability and are valid on selected services, so customers are advised to book early to secure the best deals.
Discounted fares will be available through usual ticket-buying channels, including online, via apps, at stations and ticket offices.
