Northern offering £1 train tickets to and from Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria and Leeds- how to check your local station

Northern Trains has announced the return of its huge flash sale on tickets. Journeys across the North, including in and around Manchester, will be available for just £1.

Tickets can be purchased to start a journey from both Manchester Victoria and Piccadilly. Destinations include Buxton, Chester, Windermere, Sheffield and Leeds- with many more included. 

The discounts on tickets are available now until 4pm on Friday January 5. They are valid on journeys dated between January 10 and March 1 2024 and can be purchased from Northern’s website. 

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.”
