Walking

Combining walking with the train is a great way to travel; it helps to keep you fit, save you money, and help the environment. First TransPennine Express works with local authorities and walking organisations to make our train stations easier to access on foot. Initiatives include improving signage, accessibility, and customer safety and information.

For information on safe walking routes to train stations, visit your local authority's website.

First TransPennine Express operates train services to many picturesque parts of the North of England and Scotland; so whether you fancy strolling around an interesting city, ambling through some scenic countryside or walking along a beautiful beach, First TransPennine Express can get you there.   

Working with the Lakes Line Community Rail Partnership and Mary Welsh, an author of many walking books and articles, First TransPennine Express has identified picturesque walks that can be made from ten of our train stations. These provide a great day out and you can find information on the routes, distances, type of walk and fitness levels required on our special offers page.
