Passengers in Greater Manchester will be among the first in the country to benefit from simpler and more convenient train travel when a confusing range of fares are replaced by two simple options in December.

A Greater Manchester station has been given a fresh burst of colour thanks to a team of volunteers who spent a day tending to gardens and public areas.

Train operator Northern has launched a campaign to show that travelling by train costs less than many everyday purchases.

Northern has recorded its busiest month of customer travel since before the pandemic, with more than 8.1 million journeys made across its network between 14 September and 11 October 2025.

A railway station, which has had a transformative impact on a former mining town, is the winner of this year's World Cup of Stations competition, after being voted the "most life changing”.

Northern is calling on schools, clubs, and friendship groups to ditch a cramped minibus and hop aboard the train this autumn – with discounts of up to 30% available for groups of ten or more.

The operator is inviting people from across the North to experience the magic of Light Night with a special £2 train fare into the city.

Passengers are being asked to decide which railway station has had the biggest positive impact on their lives, by taking part in a vote.

Customers planning to use a new station on the Northumberland Line can now buy tickets for their journeys, ahead of the opening next week.   

Passengers can now enjoy impressive artwork created by the winners of a competition run by Northern.

A state-of-the-art £46.5 million facility built to keep trains running for passengers has opened in Yorkshire.

Northern’s Flash Sale closes at midnight today (Thursday 2 October), and there are still a number of journeys across the North of England with tickets from just £2 up for grabs.
