One million train tickets, including services from Harrogate and Knaresborough, have been made available by Northern for just £1.
The tickets were released at 10am this morning as part of a “flash sale” promotion. They are being sold on a first come, first served basis and are spread over Northern’s almost 2,000 daily services to more than 500 stations.
People can buy the tickets online – on Northern’s website or its app – and tickets must be purchased at least seven days in advance of travel.
They must be for journeys taking place between Tuesday, September 6 and Thursday, October 20.
Mark Powles, customer and commercial director at Northern, said:
“This is our way of helping to extend the summer holiday feeling by a further six weeks – getting people through until the start of the October half term.
“Whether it’s for a weekend in the historic city of Chester, a night out in Newcastle; a day at the seaside in Scarborough or a walking holiday in the Lake District – these fares will get you where you want to be for less.”
Between 5% and 10% of its service capacity will be available at the discounted rate.
However, some peak services are excluded from the deal, as are services to events that the train operator already predicts will be busy.
