Fancy a cheeky last-minute getaway? Northern Rail is providing cost-effective train fare options for journeys across various locations in Yorkshire, including Leeds, York, Sheffield, and Bradford. The highly anticipated Northern flash sale has returned, and the rail operator has announced that half a million tickets for train journeys across the north of England are available at 50% off.
In recent years, this railway company has consistently facilitated affordable travel for commuters heading to sought-after destinations in Yorkshire. This year is no different, continuing the tradition of offering budget-friendly tickets.
Starting today (Tuesday, 14th January), Northern has cut the price of select Advance Purchase tickets as part of the nationwide Rail Sale, which runs until 20th January. Valid for travel between Sunday, 19th January and Monday, 31st March, tickets are available via Northern’s website or at ticket offices across the Northern network.
The commercial and customer director at Northern, Alex Hornby, said: “The 500,000 Advance Purchase tickets we’re making available for the Rail Sale will be spread the length and breadth of our network. Northern already offers exceptional value for money, with the average price of a journey with Northern costing around £4, and so we’re pleased to be able to offer these Rail Sale fares to our customers, making the train an even more attractive option.”
The Rail Sale is one of the first national events to mark the start of Railway 200, a year-long campaign celebrating the 200th anniversary of rail travel in the UK. George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No.1 travelled 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington, and Stockton on 27th September 1825.
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK with 2,500 services a day and more than 500 stations across the North of England. For more information on Railway 200, visit its website here.
