The tokens in the Stoke Sentinel appear identical to those issued a few months back.

Yes, in the Yorkshire Evening Post today and up till 14 September.

So the tokens are in both Local World (as per yorksrob's link) and some Johnson Press newspapers (e.g. the Yorkshire Evening Post)?

Glad to see that the price has come down to £10.

No email from Northern , no token in this weeks local paper no mention of it happening in next weeks edition, yet the tickets are valid from Monday 7th. How can people travel if they havn't got the tokens. A communication breakdown somewhere between Northern & Johnstone Press ?

I hope Northern take note & extend the offer by a week or so :roll:

It was a fairly large half page advert on yesterday's YEP (with a small inset on the front page).

How strange they are excluding Liphook to Bedhampton, I bet that will make some Portsmouth travellers unhappy being forced to use the slowest service via Winchester.

Is this added restriction due to the works on the direct line...though if I buy a ticket to Haslemere to Fratton could I go via Woking and Winchester then?

Excellent news!

Thanks Northern.

FTPE Club 55
First TransPennine Express are once again running their popular Club 55 promotion........for travel on any FTPE services timed to depart at
or after 09:30 Monday to Friday and at anytime on weekends. This restriction is for both outward and return travel. Tickets are available for outward travel on dates between 14/09/2015 and 14/11/2015.

I have searched for this offer without success.
Does anyone have a link to the FTPE Club 55 Offer please, or am I "twerly" ?

AFAIK, you will be still be able to buy tickets from Portsmouth and use them via Guildford. It's just Liphook-Bedhampton that are excluded because they will be served by bus replacements on Monday-Thursday evenings for most of the period of the offer.

Is this added restriction due to the works on the direct line...though if I buy a ticket to Haslemere to Fratton could I go via Woking and Winchester then?

It is added due to the engineering work. Although AFAIK you can still buy and use a Haslemere-Fratton offer ticket as normal.

Looks like the Northern Rail day ranger offer is back on again this autumn.

That said, the link at the bottom ( www.northernrail.org/LW2015 ) doesn't appear to be active yet.

If anyone can procure me a couple of tokens I will gladly reimburse. Please PM me if you can assist. Many thanks.

Northern Rail vouchers appeared in the Lancashire Evening Post yesterday (Thursday), no mention of the offer on the front Page, yesterday or today.

 

[danbushell]

The Telegraph and Argus (a Bradford paper) is currently advertising that it will be publishing the tokens for the Northern Rail offer in their newspapers from 16th until 26th September 2015.

Regarding the £15 offer, is this for the whole network (excluding the exceptions) like the Southern Daysave, or is it just for point to point journeys along permitted routes?

I will be doing a quick spin of the L&SWR metals that lie in the abyss between the London Zones and the rangers and rovers area on the morning of Friday 17th October.

Looks like it's point to point along permitted routes.

Would anyone in Northern Land fancy grabbing me some vouchers and an application form and posting them to me? Gladly pay you back as needed. PM me. Ta.

If anyone has any spare newspaper tokens for the Northern £10 offer please send me a PM. I'll gladly reimburse postage & the newspaper costs.
Thanks.

What do the current tokens look like?

 

[Merseysider]

What do the current tokens look like?

Pretty much the same as previous tokens, from what I've seen so far.

 

[bb21]

An image would be good. I have some unused ones from previously but want to make sure they look the same.

I can only speak for the ones in the Stoke Sentinal, but they are precisely the same as the last ones. I'll take a picture tomorrow so you can see.

I have one of the old style Northern tokens available if it's of use to anyone?
