Under a new partnership between Voi and Northern, passengers travelling from Liverpool Lime Street station will be given a 25% discount on their train ticket if they use a Voi e-bike or e-scooter to travel to the station.
This discount will be available on an Advance Purchase ticket to anywhere on the Northern network.
In return, customers arriving at Liverpool Lime Street on a Northern service will be entitled to 25% discount on a Voi ‘Day Pass’.
Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said:We’re delighted to partner with Voi on this scheme. Anything that encourages people out of their cars and onto greener methods of transport should be encouraged.
Whilst we cannot allow e-scooters on-board our trains for health and safety reasons, using them to explore the city centre or to travel to the station to connect onto one of our trains is a great way to take traffic off the roads, which we fully support.
Voi has operated the shared e-scooter scheme in Liverpool since October 2020.
In partnering with Northern, the company now hopes to further encourage sustainable travel around the city.
Emma Hughes, Partnerships Manager, UK & Ireland at Voi, said:We’re really pleased to be helping people make their money go further by offering this discount scheme with Northern.
Using one of our e-scooters or e-bikes is a perfect way to travel to and from rail stations in Liverpool. It certainly beats sitting in traffic jams and, with zero emissions, it helps cut pollution and improve air quality in Liverpool.
