Northern has come up with the perfect playlist to listen to on your commute which pay homage to one of the train operator’s most popular destinations – Liverpool.

The track listing pays tribute to the city’s diverse music scene, featuring tunes from The Beatles to The Zutons.

The playlist is 25 minutes long – the length that the average Northern customer spends each way on their daily commute.

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

“For many people, the commute is the only time of day they truly get to themselves.

“The majority of people that commute with us travel 25 minutes in each direction, that’s 50 minutes a day they could spend listening to music.

Powles added:

“Musical enjoyment aside, people that take the train to work also save an average of 48 minutes per day compared to making the same journey by car.

“Everyone can compare the cost, travel time and CO₂e impact of their journey against the equivalent trip by road on the Savings Calculator on our website.”

Northern recommends the following playlist for commuters to and from Liverpool:

There She Goes – The La’s
Dreaming of You – The Coral
Valerie – The Zutons
T-shirt Weather – Circa Waves
The Killing Moon – Echo & the Bunnymen
Enola Gray – Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles

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.

On Sunday 10 December, rail timetables across the North of England will change in line with the rest of the National Rail network. Customers are encouraged to use the ‘Check My Timetable’ feature on the Northern website for more information about their local station.
