Northern offers 50 per cent off 2025-26 child season tickets
The discount applies to under-16s and is available until 11.59pm on Thursday, July 31.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: "As we continue in our mission to make our railway accessible and as easy to use as possible, annual education season tickets are there to offer the best value for journeys to school and college.
"We're encouraging parents and guardians to take advantage of even bigger savings now, before the end of July, when the discounts available will reduce.
"Locking in this earlybird discount with a season ticket not only saves a lot of money; it ticks one more thing off the back-to-school list and it means no more faffing around with day or weekly tickets, too."
Tickets will be delivered in time for the new school term in September.
After July 31, season tickets for those under 16, and Year 11 students, will be priced at 40 per cent off the normal child season ticket price.
Term-time tickets will also become available from this date.

Surprise! Four-Day Work Weeks Make Employees Happier, Productive
The evidence is growing that a shorter work week is better not just for workers, but for employers as well. The largest-ever study of a four-day work week found that employees working fewer hours weren't just happier, but they also maintained productivity and had better job satisfaction, according to an article on the study published by Scientific American. In fact, the four-day work week was so successful that most companies kept the reduced schedule even after the study ended. Published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, the study looked at 2,896 employees at 141 companies in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Shorter Week, Less Stress Before shifting to the reduced four-day work week, companies involved in the study restructured their workflow to maintain 80% of a worker's weekly productivity by eliminating activities like unnecessary meetings. Some researchers suspected that the condensed schedule would lead to more stress for workers who hurried to get their tasks completed in time. 'When workers want to deliver the same productivity, they might work very rapidly to get the job done, and their well-being might actually worsen,' said lead author Wen Fan, a sociologist at Boston College in Massachusetts, in the Scientific American article. 'But that's not what we found.' Overall, workers felt better job satisfaction and reported better mental health after six months of the study. And while the study didn't look at whether companies' productivity levels dropped, it did say that 90% of companies kept the shorter work week even after the trial ended, indicating they weren't worried about a dip in profits. The study did leave some questions unanswered. For example, since employees self-reported the results, researchers wondered whether they over-emphasized the positive benefits in an effort to retain the extra day off.

Starmer Downplays Prospect of Steel Tariff Deal With Trump in UK
The UK is still pressing for 'full implementation' of its trade deal with the US, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said as he downplayed the prospect of a breakthrough on steel tariffs during US President Donald Trump's personal visit to Scotland this weekend. Under the deal hammered out between the two countries in May, Trump pledged to ax tariffs on steel imports from Britain that currently stand at 25%. But while other elements of the agreement have come into force, the commitment on steel is proving problematic. British officials are now 'working at pace' to resolve the details, Starmer said Thursday in an interview at Chequers, his countryside retreat northwest of London.
