EAST Lancashire's main train operator is releasing one million new advance tickets for just £1 per adult and 50 pence for children.
The offer by Northern starts today.
The company - which operates the East Lancashire line from Preston through Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley to Colne as well as services to Manchester, Darwen, and Clitheroe - has launched the bargain fares to celebrate its introduction of 101 new trains.
Tickets in the ‘Flash Sale ‘can be bought in advance from today for travel between September 6 and October 22.
Mark Powles, Northern’s customer and commercial director, said: “The past 18 months have been tough for all and, as things begin to return to normal, we wanted to give our customers the chance to explore all the North has to offer for the best possible value.
“It also gives our customers the chance to see, first-hand, the palpable improvements we’ve made while they’ve been away.
“Our trains, stations and ticket buying options have never been better and, together with our staff, we are ready to help people across the North to ‘Go Do Your Thing’.”
The £1 tickets are available when booked in advance through the Northern website or app.
No discount codes are needed.
Northern has more than 600 dedicated cleaning staff working on trains and at stations with a particular focus on touch points (tables, buttons, and toilets).
The operator is asking customers to continue wearing face coverings on trains and at stations.
