Earlier this week, Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, praised Northern’s Flash Sale, saying: “We need to get people back on our railways and initiatives like this will do just that.”
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with nearly 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
Northern’s new timetable came into effect in December 2022 and all customers, especially those who have made regular journeys on specific train times, are advised to use the new 'Check My Timetable' feature on Northern’s website to see changes specific to their local station.
