This offer is available from September 1 to October 23, 2025, providing a cost-effective way to explore the North of England.

To take advantage of this promotion, participants must collect two tokens from the Manchester Evening News between September 1 and September 14, 2025. These tokens can be redeemed for tickets at any staffed ticket office on the Northern network. The tickets can be used for travel anywhere across the Northern rail system, making it an ideal option for autumn getaways or day trips to bustling cities.

Ticket Options and Pricing

The promotion includes two ticket options: the Day Ranger ticket priced at £12 per adult and the Weekend Rover ticket available for £20 per adult. Children aged between 5 and 15 can travel for half price, making it possible for families to enjoy affordable outings.

The travel window for the Day Ranger ticket is from September 1 to October 23, 2025, while the Weekend Rover ticket is valid from September 6 to October 19, 2025. Each ticket is valid for travel on the same date only, with services available after 08:45 on weekdays and any time during weekends.

How to Redeem the Offer

To redeem the offer, interested travelers need to log in or register at northernrailway.co.uk/reachplc, where they can complete an online form. After filling out the form, participants should print it and present it, along with the collected tokens, at any manned Northern station to receive their tickets.

It is important to note that there is no direct travel route available on Northern services between Newcastle and York. This promotion provides a great opportunity for those looking to explore the North’s vibrant culture and scenic landscapes while saving money.
