TRAIN operator TransPennine Express (TPE) has launched a £1 flash sale, offering a million discounted tickets for travel across the north of England and into Scotland.

The sale covers TPE advance purchase tickets across all TPE routes, and customers need to act quickly to secure a deal, as once they are gone, they are gone.

Tickets are on sale now and are available until midnight tomorrow, Friday, at tpexpress.co.uk/sale/1-pound.html

Darren Higgins, commercial director for TPE, said: “We are really excited to offer customers the opportunity to travel to all areas of the TPE network, visiting our fantastic destinations for only £1.

“Whether planning a walking weekend in the Lake District or wanting to explore the historical Royal Mile in Edinburgh, customers can take advantage of this amazing offer for a limited time.

“As always, customers should book early because once tickets are gone, they are gone.”

Just some of the destinations included in the £1 sale are Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, York and Newcastle.

TPE trains stop at Warrington Central and Birchwood, as well as Newton-le-Willows.

Tickets are valid for travel between January 22 and March 8 subject to availability and exclusions, and they must be bought through the TPE website, or the TPExpress app with the code SALE.
