Northern is offering Harrogate pupils half price train tickets for the entire 2024/25 academic year.
The train operator hopes the discount will convince children under 16 and their parents to convert their school run from the road to rail.
The discount is available until Friday 20th September through Northern’s Under 16 Education Season Ticket scheme.
An example of savings given by Northern is for St John Fisher Catholic High School pupils travelling from Knaresborough to Hornbeam Park.
The annual cost of a standard child ticket is being slashed from £448 to £224.
Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said:
“As well as providing a significant saving on the cost of the school commute, U16 Education Season Tickets can be used at weekends and bank holidays too – not just the 195 days a year that schools are open.
“We have a long-running campaign to encourage people to convert from road to rail – and if we can get young people in the habit while they’re at school, we hope they will stick with it when they move into further education or the workplace.”
