Northern Rail is currently running another borderline crazy flash sale, offering train tickets on routes across its network for just 10p! Child tickets are available for just 5p each…

Travel dates have to be between 13 Jan-14 Feb or between 24-29 Feb.

It’s slightly unclear in the sale’s terms how long it will last, but I would imagine it’s simply until the 180,000 “Qualifying Tickets” have been snapped up. Regardless, I would advise booking asap.

There are lots of routes available, including many popular ones:

As of late last night, availability on the routes I looked at was surprisingly good. You’re unlikely to find many prime routes during rush hour selling for 10p, but if you’re flexible, there are lots of bargains to be had:

Conclusion

This may not be the most glamorous deal that’s ever been covered on InsideFlyer, but hopefully it can save you some cash! It’s also worth mentioning that tickets to/from Manchester Airport across the network are included in the flash sale.

What’s the best deal you’ve managed to find in the Northern Rail Flash Sale?
