Some of the journeys included in the ‘Flash Sale’ are trains from Manchester Piccadilly to the likes of Buxton, Chester, Crewe, Hadfield, Manchester Airport, Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent and Wilmslow. Plus, from Manchester Victoria you can travel to Blackburn, Chester, Clitheroe, Leeds, Southport, Wigan North Western and Windermere from just £1.
Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “The ‘Flash Sale’ extends to every corner of our network, with £1 tickets up for grabs for both local and longer, cross-country journeys.
“We hope the ‘Flash Sale’ will inspire people to get out and about across the region, for those moments that matter most – days out with the family, catch-ups with friends or for no reason other than to enjoy the beautiful countryside and coastlines our region has to offer.
“As always, customers should book early to avoid disappointment. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
There are five million £1 tickets up for grabs with this flash sale from Northern. Tickets are available now, but all travel must take place between January 10 and March 1, 2024.
