Train provider Northern is reminding NHS workers that they can claim a 25 per cent discount on train journeys.

The reminder comes the day before the NHS's 76th anniversary on 5 July.

The discount is available via Health Service Discounts and is delivered in partnership with Network.

The saving is available on 2,500 services a day.

Stuart Taylor, head of commercial development at Northern, said: “We were very proud to launch this special discount last year – and we want to encourage as many NHS workers as possible to benefit.

“The discount is valid on each and every one of our services – and over time a 25% discount really adds up.”
