Dales residents go half-price

Residents living in certain postcodes in Cumbria and north Yorkshire can now apply for a special Dales Railcard that will entitle them to half-price, off-peak day return fares on the Bentham and Settle-Carlisle lines this winter.

Valid on all off-peak day return tickets between October 30 2022 and April 1 2023, the railcard forms part of a campaign by Northern to encourage people who live in the region to ditch the car and take the train.

Railcards are available for £10 and can be purchased from ticket offices at Appleby, Carlisle, Settle or Skipton, or from the Settle Carlisle Railway Development Co.
