Half-a-million train tickets going for half-price

0

HALF a million tickets for train journeys across the North of England are up for grabs with 50 per cent-off the cost – and that includes Warrington.

Train operator Northern has slashed the price of select Advance Purchase tickets as part of the nationwide ‘Rail Sale’ which runs until Monday, January 20.
Tickets are valid for travel between Sunday, January 19 and Monday, March 31 and are available from northernrailway.co.uk and ticket offices across the Northern network.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “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 is one of the first national events to mark the start of Railway 200 – a year-long campaign to celebrate the 200th anniversary of rail travel in the UK.
It was on September 27, 1825 that George Stephenson’s steam-powered Locomotion No. 1 travelled 26 miles between Shildon, Darlington and Stockton.
