A new partnership between Network Digital Marketing and rail operator, TransPennine Express, will mean anyone working in the healthcare, education and charity sectors will receive 20% off their Advance Purchase tickets.
The discount is available across TPE's services in the North of England and Scotland, and is valid on both First Class and Standard Class seating.
NHS workers can book through the Health Service Discounts website, carers via the Discount for Carers, teachers via the Dicount for Teaches and charity workers via the Charity Worker Discount website.
Darren Higgins, Commercial Director for TPE, said: “We're thrilled to be able to help thousands of key works save money on the cost of their journeys with this new partnership with Network Digital Marketing.”
“The saving is delivered in partnership with Network Digital Marketing – a company that specialises in employee discounts and benefits – and is available on all TPE Advance Purchase tickets.”
Luke Ince, Commercial Director at Network Digital Marketing, said: “We are delighted we have been able to partner with TransPennine Express to bring our members incredible savings on their Advance Purchase tickets. We look forward to working with TransPennine Express over the coming months and helping our members save even more money on their everyday spend.”
This is so Discriminatory this discount just shouldn’t be applied, I feel sure sure that many other workers could do with similar discounts, those on minimum wages, etc meanwhile those consultants, managers, sisters, ward managers are laughing
Working in a supermarket we was key workers, now since the flu is over we aren’t key worker anymore
The only problem I see with this is, that TPE are NOT very good at running a train service.
They still don’t have enough drivers and those they do have Don’t like working.
I disagree with this. Just because you work in particular jobs should not mean discounted travel. Everyone is find times difficult and everyone should pay similar fares.
I don’t agree with this as it is simple discrimination. EVERYONE should just pay the same fare.
