Northern teams-up with Hull Kingston Rovers to get fans to Grand Final on Saturday for just £10
Northern has teamed-up with Hull Kingston Rovers to offer fans travelling to watch the Super League Grand Final on Saturday (12 October) a special ticket to get them to the match.
The train operator will charge just £10 for a special day ranger ticket valid on all Northern services between Hull and Manchester Victoria via Halifax or Leeds.
The ticket, which is valid for adults and children, represents a big reduction on the standard ticket price and is part of efforts to encourage more fans to travel to the game on public transport.
Yesterday, Northern revealed it had given 300 young rugby fans tickets to watch Hull Kingston Rovers take on Wigan Warriors in the final at Old Trafford as part of its partnership with Super League.
Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “As proud partners of Super League, yesterday we were delighted to announce that we were giving 300 young fans the chance to watch the final at Old Trafford.
“Today, we’re happy to announce we’re working with Hull Kingston Rovers to encourage fans with a ticket for the match to ditch their cars and travel by train instead.”
