Northern is set to offer £1 tickets as part of a first come, first serve flash sale this Autumn.

The train operator is selling over one million discounted tickets online and through the Northern app.

The £1 tickets will be available between Tuesday, September 6, and Thursday, October 20, while stocks last.

Cheap tickets will go on sale from 10am today (August 30) and must be booked seven days in advance of travel.

Mark Powles, customer and commercial director at Northern, said: “This is our way of helping to extend the summer holiday feeling by a further six weeks - getting people through until the start of the October half term.

“Whether it’s for a weekend in the historic city of Chester, a night out in Newcastle; a day at the seaside in Scarborough or a walking holiday in the Lake District – these fares will get you where you want to be for less.

“Tickets are on a first come, first serve basis – so those looking to take advantage of these great £1 fares should book early to avoid disappointment. When they’re gone, they’re gone.”

The £1 sale fares are spread across almost 2,000 0f Northern’s daily services, but some peak time services are excluded.
