Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: "With three million tickets up for grabs, there’s something for everyone in Northern's Flash Sale.  

“For our existing customers, it's the perfect opportunity to visit somewhere new, and hopefully we can encourage those who don't currently use the train to give it a try.  

"We believe the Flash Sale will inspire everyone to explore everything our fantastic region has to offer, from bustling cities to countryside and stunning coastlines. 

"Customers will need to book early to avoid disappointment - once they're gone, they're gone!" 

Tickets will be available to buy on Northern's app, online, and at ticket offices and on ticket machines at stations managed by Northern. 

Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,650 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
