Northern Rail have a sale on at the moment where you can get tickets for 10p on selected lines and times in September. Husband and I have just booked Leeds to York on 1st Sept and Leeds to Meadowhall on 8th Sept, both cost 40p return for 2 adults. There aren't as many cheap ones from Barnsley but they do have some to Nottingham on 21st Sept You just have to keep going forward and back through the train times to find the 20p ones. If you feel like leaving Barnsley at 6:20am that is one of the 10p outbound tickets, as is 5:23am. The latest one after than gets you in at 2:58pm which is frustrating. https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/sale
Just booked York to Blackpool as well for 40p return for me wife and kids to go see illuminations and fireworks! I love a bargain me!
We've just booked to go now! Didn't realise lights started that early in the year, can't say no at 40p!
Just got 5 from Sheffield for ‘Forest away! Out at 7am and return at 10pm - all the other key times had gone. Only paid a quid!
