According to the Manchester evening news, Northern 10p tickets go on sale next week- I think the 14th.

That wouldn't be very helpful when you consider the first date for use is the 13th. Maybe it meant the first dates they could be used?

Northern sent emails out yesterday saying it was to start today, their website also stated it was today and anyone enquiring on Twitter has been told it's still today but just with a delay. The link from the OP now has an update confirming the delay.

Northern briefly tweeted, at 5pm, that the sale was live online and on the app. After numerous responses suggesting otherwise the tweet was quickly deleted.

The bizarre 10-day gap when they are unavailable (14-24 Feb) appears to coincide with the February half term for most schools. Coincidence............?

Clearly is intentional - why sell bargain tickets designed to fill quiet trains (and bring in virtually no revenue) when you expect off-peak demand to pick up a bit?

They are now live! However, I can put it in my basket but it won’t process the payment due to a’technical error’, it just keeps returning to the basket.

Just bought £8.70 worth of journeys. I'm extremely happy with my purchases.

Thank you Northern.

Incredibly painful buying them as the website is pretty overloaded, but you will (eventually) get there....

I can't use the 'choose a departure station' or 'see all stations offering flash sale tickets'. What am I doing wrong?

Just type northernrailway.co.uk and book from there shows the 10p fares where they are applicable ( no 10p fares on some routes )

No joy here I'm afraid.

It is just showing the standard fares.

They aren't available every day and the routes are fairly limited like last time. It's likely there isn't a fare for the times/dates you are looking at.

Welcome to Northern Railway... unless I'm being blind, didn't Northern say they'd tweet out when the rickets became available?

Oh, and...

If & when they send a tweet out, my prediction is that the site will crash (unless it's sent in the middle of the night!)

I managed to get some for myself and others for the forum meal in Leeds, even at peak time!

Just bought tickets for me & Polar Bear.
We are going Blackpool North on the 25th to ride trams etc
Hebden Bridge on the 1st Feb to buy another travel card and see west yorkshire
8th Feb Manchester to ride trams possibly.
I bought our tickets by logging into my Northern Account , NOT through the Flash Sale portal.

Thank you, all, for your updates earlier. I was able to buy a 10p single each way to/from Liverpool from Wilmslow for Wednesday 15 January just now.

Well they have sent an e-mail out.

It does seem that how you go into the site, or amend your search if having a play around, depends on whether the 10p tickets show up or not!

Thanks for the tip Toni.

Managed to book a return from Lea Green to Manchester Piccadilly this Saturday and the following Saturday.
