9 money saving tips
Book as early as you can
Did you know you can book train tickets up to 24 weeks before you travel? Book tickets as early as you can and save over 50%*.
No booking fee
Unlike some other providers, TransPennine Express won’t charge you any booking or credit card fees, so it always pays to book train tickets direct with us.
Book travel across Great Britain
Whilst we call the North and Scotland our home, we can book trains for travel anywhere in Great Britain, even if it's not on the TransPennine Express network.
Get a railcard
Get a guaranteed 1/3 off train tickets with a railcard. Available for 1 or 3 years, there’s a railcard for nearly everyone – students, families, jobseekers and more, so you can get where you want to go for less.
Collect Nectar points
If you have a Nectar card, register it when you buy train tickets online with us and you'll get 2 points per £1 you spend. You can also get 200 points for a monthly Season Ticket and 2,500 points for an annual Season Ticket.
Be flexible
Train ticket prices vary throughout the day, so if you're flexible with what time you can travel, choose your train based on which offers the cheapest train tickets.
Price promise
We promise that you cannot buy a publicly available ticket for a TransPennine Express train journey cheaper anywhere else online. In the unlikely event that you do, we’ll refund the difference.
Upgrade to First Class from £10
If you have a Standard Ticket and are travelling on Saturday, Sunday or a Bank Holiday, you can upgrade to First Class for a £10 single journey supplement or £15 on our Anglo-Scottish route. Seats are subject to availability and payment can be made to the conductor on board.
