A THREE-DAY 'Flash Sale' is underway with five million tickets for train journey across the North of England available for £1.

Northern has launched its latest cut-price event with tickets for dozens of popular destinations across the region on-sale now and available until 4pm on Friday, January 5.

'Flash Sale' tickets are valid for travel between Wednesday, 10 January and Friday, 1 March 2024 and must be booked at least seven days in advance of travel.

On-sale train tickets from Chester include journeys to the likes of Leeds, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria.

There are also a full range of tickets travelling to and from more than a dozen of the North's major stations including Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and Carlisle.

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."

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