Northern train travel advice
- Luggage: While Northern doesn’t impose a strict baggage limit, space on board is restricted, so it’s best to travel light – ideally with just one small bag and one medium suitcase. Luggage can be stowed in overhead racks, under seats or in end-of-carriage storage areas, so that aisles and wheelchair spaces are kept clear.
- Bicycles: Standard bikes and e-bikes are welcome onboard Northern services, though capacity varies by train, so aim to board early. Folding bikes can be brought on board all Northern trains at any time when folded, counting as regular luggage.
- Children: Under-fives travel free of charge, while children aged 5-15 enjoy 50% off standard fares. Families can save more with a Family & Friends railcard, offering a third off adult fares and 60% off child fares, while older teens can also travel half-price with a 16-17 Saver railcard.
- Pets: Passengers can bring up to two pets on board free of charge. Dogs must be kept on a lead or transported in a secure carrier, and all pets should stay off the seats.
- Passenger Assist: If you need help boarding trains, handling luggage or navigating stations, you can book Passenger Assist in advance or request support on the day by speaking to staff at larger stations.
