Being a student is all about juggling lectures, late nights, part-time jobs and adventures with your mates. We get it, your budget is tight, but your travel shouldn't be. That's why TransPennine Express give students with a 16-25 Railcard up to 50% off tickets when you book direct and in advance. Whether you're heading home for the weekend, visiting friends at another uni or just exploring your new surroundings, this discount keeps you moving without breaking the bank.
If you've got a 16-25 Railcard and you're a student, you can unlock half price fares on our trains. Normally, Railcards give you a third off, but we've added even more discount and slashed fares for students by 50%.
That means you can travel across the North of England and Scotland for less and it puts places like Manchester, Glasgow, York, the Lake District, Edinburgh and Newcastle all within reach for the price of a couple of iced lattes.
No, you can only get the half price student offer through our website or our app using the discount code TPESTUDENT. If you're buying your ticket at the ticket office, you'll only be eligible for the 1/3 you can save with your 16-25 Railcard.
You can use the half price student offer on TransPennine Express Standard Advance Purchase tickets. If you want a different kind of ticket, like an off-peak return or open return, you can still use your 16-25 Railcard for 1/3 off.
A 16-25 Railcard is £35 for 1 year or £80 for 3 years.
A 16-25 Railcard offers 1/3 off the price of train travel. However, with TransPennine Express you can enjoy a 50% discount on our Standard Advance Purchase tickets.
