Northern Rail Unveils £2 Flash Sale, Millions of Tickets Available for Three Days Only
Train travel across the North of England is about to get a whole lot cheaper. Northern Rail has announced a flash sale, offering over three million tickets from just £2. But there’s a catch: the offer lasts only three days.
Starting at 8am today (Tuesday, 30 September), passengers have until Thursday, 2 October, to snap up the bargains. Travel dates for discounted tickets are between Monday, 6 October, and Friday, 24 October 2025.
Tickets are available through Northern’s website, app, ticket offices, or at ticket machines at stations managed by the operator.
The most popular destinations include Preston, Blackpool North, Blackburn, Bolton, Manchester, Manchester Airport, Leeds, Shipley, Rochdale, Stockport, Bradford, Sheffield, Wigan Wallgate, Hebden Bridge, Meadowhall, Liverpool Lime Street, Skipton, Wilmslow, Doncaster, Ilkley, Hull, and Wakefield Westgate.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, encouraged travellers to act fast. “With three million tickets up for grabs, there’s something for everyone in Northern’s Flash Sale.
For our existing customers, it’s the perfect opportunity to visit somewhere new, and hopefully, we can encourage those who don’t currently use the train to give it a try.
We believe the Flash Sale will inspire everyone to explore everything our fantastic region has to offer, from bustling cities to the countryside and stunning coastlines.
Customers will need to book early to avoid disappointment – once they’re gone, they’re gone!”
Northern Rail, the UK’s second-largest train operator, runs 2,650 daily services covering more than 500 stations across Northern England.
The flash sale is a golden opportunity for commuters, weekend travellers, and anyone looking to explore the North at a bargain price.
With fares starting at just £2, passengers are urged to act fast, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
