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.”

As the UK continues to see progress in passenger numbers returning to levels of those pre-pandemic, meaningful price cuts on services such as this scheme can work wonders for enticing customers to return to rail travel for their daily commutes. Seeing mass rail travel return will not only increase the revenue of the sector but will also contribute towards the decarbonisation of routes around the UK as rail represents the greenest form of public transportation available.

Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, said:

“This flash sale is five million chances to see family, friends or just get out and around for prices as low as 50p.

“We need to get people back on our railways and initiatives like this will do just that.”
