Northern has announced its Rail Sale which starts today, Tuesday, and will run until next Monday, January 20.
The train operator has slashed the price of select Advance Purchase tickets as part of the nationwide sale which will see tickets priced at 50 per cent off.
So if you are fancying a cheap day trip from Warrington, you could be in luck.
Tickets are valid for travel between Sunday, 19 January and Monday, 31 March 2025 and are available from northernrailway.co.uk and ticket offices across the Northern network.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, 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 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of rail travel in the UK.
It was on September, 27, 1825 that George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 travelled 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington and Stockton.
