If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

TransPennine Express 25% off advance tickets
Standard and first class tickets for travel until 2 April
ExpiredUntil 11.59pm on Tue 31 Jan, TransPennine Express is offering 25% off all advance train tickets on its network in the North West of England and Scotland (see full map), for travel until Sun 2 Apr, eg, Manchester to Edinburgh from £24.80 return and Liverpool to Leeds from £12.50 return.
To get the discounted tickets, you'll need to book by Tue 31 Jan at this TransPennine Express link (the discount will be applied automatically) – or you can book via its app and enter the code APP25.
The 25% off is available on all TransPennine Express standard and first class advance tickets, but it can be hit and miss as to whether the train you want has advance fares left and it may involve a bit of trial and error to find the cheaper fares – but there will be more availability the further in advance you book.
TransPennine Express says tickets are available on the majority of longer distance journeys and need to be booked before 6pm the day before travel.
Once you've selected your travel dates, discounted fares will have a red asterisk (*) beside them. For return trips, you'll have to book two singles, so check both are at the discounted rate before booking. Discounted child tickets are available in this offer for half the price of an adult ticket.
It's worth noting that these tickets are only valid for the specific train selected when booking, and are non-refundable. If you have a railcard, you can use it to make an even bigger saving.
