A Flexi Season ticket offers 8 days of travel in a 28 day period. You can travel any time between your two chosen stations. Pay for the days you need, spend the rest wherever you like.
It’s a flexible solution that’s perfect if you need to travel to work a couple of times a week at peak time Monday to Friday.
If you’re buying a Flexi Season for the first time, you’ll need a Smartcard.
You can order one for free from your TransPennine Express online account - it’ll arrive in about five days. Or, pick up a free Smartcard at the station and register it to your account.

Yes. However, if you have a Flexi Season ticket on your Smartcard, we recommend you wait until after you've used all 8 days of travel on your active Flexi Season ticket before buying a new one.
If you need to buy another Flexi Season ticket before you've finished using your active ticket, please make sure the start date of your next Flexi Season ticket commences after the date you intend to use your last day of travel. This is to avoid starting your new ticket before you’ve used all 8 days of travel on your active ticket.
