Season Tickets are available for a weekly train ticket, 1 calendar month and any period between 1-12 months, which offers significant savings over buying an Anytime Day Return each day. You'll be able to travel on any day within the validity of the ticket and avoid having to queue repeatedly for your train ticket. A Flexible Season ticket offers 8 days of travel in 28 days any time between two stations.
Sound good? That's just the start...
On a 12-month Season Ticket you get 52 weeks’ travel but you’ll only pay for 40 weeks.
Even if you travel the same route just 4 days a week, a Season Ticket will save you money. Use the Season Ticket Calculator and see just how much you could save.
If you would prefer to split the cost into easy monthly payments.
With a Season Ticket you can head straight to your train and don’t have to queue at the ticket machine every morning. More time to treat yourself and join the coffee queue instead!
Buy a Season Ticket for one month or longer and you can enjoy free First Class upgrades on your normal daily TransPennine Express route at the weekend (excludes Bank Holidays and zonal season ticket products such as the GM Countycard, Merseytravel Rail Pass and West Yorkshire M Cards).
If you’re buying a Season Ticket for the first time, register in MyAccount and order your Smartcard, this will be posted to you and will take approximately 5 days. Alternatively, you can collect a Smartcard from the station.
Once you have received your card you can buy your *Smart Season Ticket online, at the ticket machine or at a ticket office. You can buy your Season Ticket with cash, most credit or debit cards, rail travel vouchers or a Rail Warrant issued by your employer.
*Flexi Season Tickets can only be purchased online.
