If you are travelling less for work, due to the current travel restrictions and would prefer to buy a single or return journey ticket, you can buy these via the TransPennine Express App and you don’t need your Smart card. Alternatively, you can buy a single or return journey ticket at the train station and upload them to your Smart card. 

You can still buy your tickets at our stations or have them posted to you but with our easy online options you only ever need to buy online! More options.
