By Joshua Robinson –
Northern is offering students across West Yorkshire half-price school run tickets for the entire 2024-25 academic year.
The train operator hopes the discount will convince children under 16 and their parents or guardians to convert their school run from road to rail.
The discount is available until Friday 20th September through Northern’s Under 16 Education Season Ticket scheme.
Some of the sample savings in West Yorkshire include:

Mark Powles, Commercial and Customer Director at Northern said: “As well as providing a significant saving on the cost of the school commute, U16 Education Season Tickets can be used at weekends and bank holidays too – not just the 195 days a year that schools are open.”
“We have a long-running campaign to encourage people to convert from road to rail – and if we can get young people in the habit while they’re at school, we hope they will stick with it when they move into further education or the workplace.”
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with nearly 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
