Northern Trains has moved a step closer to the largest ever investment in its fleet which could eventually see up to 450 new trains.

Half a million tickets for train journeys across the North of England are up for grabs with 50%-off the cost, Northern has announced.

Twenty-one community groups and projects across the North of England have been given a New Year boost thanks to a grant from Northern.

A prosthetic leg, a hamster without a cage and a wig are just some of the things customers have left behind on Northern services.

Anyone looking to change their train ticket will now be able to do so cheaper, after Northern and Seatfrog slashed the price of making a switch.
