If you travel regularly along the same route, buying a Season Ticket online is the best way to save time and money on your train tickets. Use our Season Ticket calculator to see how much a train season ticket will save you. Season Tickets are available on a Smartcard giving you all the benefits of smarter train travel.
• EASIER – just buy online from the comfort of your own home or from your phone on the go
• QUICKER – buy your train season ticket online. (Before you travel tap in at a TransPennine Express ticket machine or ticket gate to add your season ticket to your Smartcard) And there’s no need to feed your ticket through the gates just tap onto the reader and go.
• SMARTER – your card is registered, so if it is lost or stolen it can easily be replaced.
If you don’t already have a Smartcard, register for one here.
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.
