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.
Buy your ticket
Buy your ticket at the ticket office or machine at the station, or on the train if the ticket office or machine is not open or available.
Do not use public transport unless you have to. If you need to travel, walk or cycle if you can.
Leave public transport for key workers and people who rely on it, and only use it if you have no other option.
Safe streets save lives in Greater Manchester
Local authorities are using temporary pop-up measures to give pedestrians and cyclists more space.
