100,000 extra Flash Sale tickets for JUST 10p: Northern singles out tourism and night-time economies across the North of England for support


Northern has released an extra 100,000 tickets as part of its Flash Sale – all for just 10p.

The train operator has targeted tourism hotspots and towns and cities with night-time economy offerings for the 10p fares – with the hope of providing a post-summer holiday boost to visitor numbers.

The 10p fares available across the Northern network include:

  • Liverpool Lime Street to Blackpool North
  • Manchester Piccadilly to Buxton
  • Carlisle to Preston
  • Sheffield to Leeds
  • Hull to Halifax
  • Bradford Interchange to Huddersfield
  • Southport to Manchester Oxford Road
  • Clitheroe to Rochdale
  • Blackburn to Wigan Wallgate
  • Darlington to Saltburn
  • York to Blackpool North

The Flash Sale launched on Monday (4 September) with one million 50p tickets, three million £1 tickets and one million £2 tickets up for grabs at www.northernrailway.co.uk/sale

The Flash Sale closes at 6pm tonight. Tickets are valid for travel between Monday, 11 September and Friday, 20 October.

Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said:

“The 100,000 extra tickets we’ve released this morning will ensure this Flash Sale goes out with a bang.

“We work closely with tourist boards and local authorities across our network and we’ve made these 10p tickets available on routes and services that will support the tourism offer or night-time economy of those locations.”

All Flash Sale tickets must be booked seven days in advance of travel and are available online, via Northern’s app and website, which now features a new ‘Cheap Fare Finder’ tool.

Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
