Northern Launches Fifty Percent Off Rail Sale with Half a Million Discounted Tickets to Celebrate Railway 200
Northern has announced a major offer with half a million train tickets available at 50% off as part of the nationwide ‘Rail Sale.’ The discounted Advance Purchase tickets will go on sale from Tuesday, 14 January, through Monday, 20 January. Tickets can be used for travel between Sunday, 19 January, and Monday, 31 March 2025. Passengers can purchase tickets online at northernrailway.co.uk or from ticket offices across the Northern network.
“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 marks one of the first national events celebrating Railway 200—a year-long campaign honoring the 200th anniversary of rail travel in the UK. On 27 September 1825, George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 completed its historic 26-mile journey between Shildon, Darlington, and Stockton. Northern, the UK’s second-largest train operator, runs 2,500 daily services to over 500 stations across the North of England.
