Subject to availability, only valid on FTPE services, buy in advance to avoid disappointment. Only valid on date and service stated on ticket. No refunds available. 

Mobile app/Mtickets

Texts are charged at the standard rate. Terms and conditions apply. Mobile tickets are only available on TPE services to Manchester Airport, when purchasing Airport Advance tickets through the TPE mobile app. Other ticket options are available at train stations and tpexpress.co.uk.

Changes to travel plans.

Changes to time or date of travel must be arranged before departure of the first reserved train printed on the ticket, after which the ticket has no value and a new one must be purchased. Customers will need to present the ticket(s) and reservation(s) when they request a change. The origin, destination and Train Company or route shown on the ticket(s) must remain the same. The difference between the price paid and cost of the next suitable fare for the journey is payable, plus a £10 administration fee per person, per single ticket for each change to a journey. If customers change to a train on which a cheaper fare is available, the difference will not be refunded.

Reservations

Strict control arrangements apply and (free) seat reservations must be obtained for the throughout journey (where applicable) before the tickets are issued.

Easements

Tickets are train specific; however to accommodate inbound flight delays, journeys from John Lennon & Manchester Airports can be made on the next available TransPennine Express service up to 3 hours after the departure time stated on the ticket. Where no services depart within this time, the next TPE service may be used. Passengers wishing to use this concession must have their tickets endorsed at the Ticket Office before boarding the train. This is the only difference to other Advance tickets.
