NORTHERN is offering what it says is 'more affordable tickets for families' in time for the Easter holidays.

The train operator has expanded its 'Family Fare' offer to cover even more routes across the north of England in time for families planning days out over Easter.

Families of up to two adults and four children under the age of 15 travelling together can now benefit from cheaper tickets on a range of popular routes across Teesside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire and the North East.

The expansion adds new discounted tickets on over 200 more routes.

These new additions sit alongside Northern’s existing Family Fare routes and offer savings of 80 per cent on average for families compared with buying separate tickets.

Alex Hornby, Commercial and Customer Director for Northern, said: "Families are feeling the cost-of-living pressures now more than ever, so expanding our Family Fare offer ahead of the Easter holidays is an important way we can help.

"These new routes give families more choice and better value, whether they’re planning a big day out, visiting loved ones or simply exploring somewhere new across the North.”
