Greater Manchester's Rail Revolution: Cheaper Tickets & Seamless Travel
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Greater Manchesters rail revolution begins this weekend, with simplified train ticket prices and a long-term vision to double passenger numbers, build 75,000 new homes, and inject £90 billion into the economy. The new ticket system offers four options, with prices on average 5% lower than before. The mayor aims to make trains financially competitive with cars, reducing congestion and environmental impact. In about a year, passengers on four key lines will use tap-and-go technology for seamless travel. This is part of a larger twenty-fifty vision that includes transport-led regeneration near stations.
