Northern offer gives students 75 per cent off train tickets | Bradford …

The discount is available on annual tickets bought as part of Northern's Under-16 Education Season Ticket scheme, which has gone live today (Tuesday, August 1).

Northern runs the programme in partnership with 166 secondary schools and university technical colleges (UTCs) across the north of England.

The ticket covers unlimited travel between any two stations on the Northern network seven days a week – which means they can be used for travel at weekends and during the school holidays too.

In the 2022-23 academic year, Northern welcomed around 15,000 student commuters on-board its services every week - but only 3,300 of them travelled using one of the heavily discounted Under 16 Education Season Tickets, paying an average cost of £200.21 for the year.

In addition to the secondary schools and UTCs already participating in the scheme, there are a further 146 educational establishments with more than 100,000 students located within 1km of a railway station served by Northern that have not yet signed up to the scheme.
