Northern has announced the sale of a brand-new ticket that allows passengers to switch between trains, buses and boats in Cumbria.
The Cumbria Travel Pass allows customers to utilise unlimited travel across the county on Northern, TransPennine Express and Avanti trains, Stagecoach bus services and select Windermere Lake Cruises boats.
Replacing five different types of Ranger tickets; the pass was introduced as part of a wider strategy to make ticketing both simpler and more convenient.
Northern has stated that the decision to introduce the pass comes as a growing number of tourists are booking trips to the Lake District amid uncertainty over international travel.
Passengers will be able to utilise services on several different routes in Cumbria, including the Furness Line, which allows passengers to travel between Barrow-in-Furness and Lancaster; as well as the Lakes Line, which operates between Oxenholme to Windermere.
Priced at 40 GBP per person per day or 99 GBP for three days; the pass can be bought from ticket vending machines, station ticket offices and online, with discounts available for children and those with Railcards.
Alex Hornby, Commercial and Customer Director at Northern, said:We’re excited to launch this new travel pass. It gives customers real flexibility and peace of mind as they switch between providers, travelling by train, bus and boat – and saves money for those who would usually buy separate tickets for each.
It’s ideal for anyone looking to travel across this beautiful part of the world, as they can hop on and off at any stop.
