Children from the school regularly fail to pay for their train ticket
, conductors can’t always carry out a full ticket inspection, which results in students ‘risking it’.Northern is now deploying revenue protection teams to undertake random ticket checks to try and resolve the problem.1 - Rainhill High School, Prescot, Merseyside4 - Turton School, Bromley Cross, Greater ManchesterHere are the examples of the big savings available for each school, based on a child’s return fare being used on the 195 days that schools are open per year.
“It’s important they know that fare evading is a criminal act and in the future they could end up with a criminal record for the sake of paying the - heavily discounted - student fare. “With the end of the school year almost upon us, we are urging parents from September not to give their child money with the hope they will buy a ticket, but to save money by ensuring their child has a ticket by buying it for a cheaper rate in advance.”
Northern is investing in the largest network of ticket infrastructure of any train operator in the UK. Customers can buy tickets from Northern’s app, website, ticket offices or one of more than 600 ticket machines across the network.
