Northern announces 10p rail fares

Northern - the train company which received widespread criticism for the large number of cancellations last year - is now offering fares which might make the company a little more popular.

They've announced 80,000 Advanced Purchase tickets for 10p each.

They're being sold on a first-come - first served basis - and children can travel for as little as 5p.

Northern says tickets can be bought in advance from today, Monday 19 August, while all travel must take place between 1 - 30 September.

David Brown, Northern's Managing Director:

"We had an exciting start to the summer with the launch of our first brand new trains.

And we continued the great news for customers with the first Pacer retiring.

Now, with better trains already on the network, we want to celebrate the end of summer with an offer that gives thousands of people outstanding value travel."

Tickets for 10p (5p for children) are available when booked in advance through the Northern website or app.

No discount codes are needed, simply search for a journey and, if it'on one of our Advance Purchase routes, you'll be able to get the reduced rate."
