If you're making more than one single or return off-peak train journey in one day, it may be cheaper to get a Rail Ranger ticket and travel as many times as you want.
Do you qualify?
Anyone can buy this ticket.
But if you're under 16 it's cheaper to get a Child's Rail Ranger ticket.
The costs and the benefits
The Rail Ranger costs £7.20.
You can travel as often as you like on Greater Manchester trains outside peak times.
You cannot use your Rail Ranger ticket:
- before 9.30 am, Monday to Friday (except bank holidays)
- between 4.01pm and 6.29pm, Monday to Friday (except bank holidays)
You can use the ticket until 2.30am on the following day.
