Northern’s network runs between north of England hubs such as Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Chester, as well as into rural weekender spots like Yorkshire and the Lake District. “We are also again delaying the increase to March 2023, temporarily freezing fares for passengers to travel at a lower price for the entirety of January and February as we continue to take steps to help struggling households.” The Consumer Prices Index rose to 10.1 per cent in the 12 months to July 2022, up from 9.4 per cent in June and remaining at the highest level since 1982, the Office for National Statistics said.
