The UK’s favourite rail operator Hull Trains is encouraging tourism to the city this festive season, offering free travel on selected dates throughout November. 

Hull Trains has partnered with Visit Hull and East Yorkshire (VHEY) to give customers in Doncaster, Selby, Howden and Brough the opportunity to visit the city on Hull Trains’ award-winning services for free.

There’s plenty to look forward to this month in Hull, kicking off with the famous Christmas Lights Switch-On on 19 November. There will be an impressive Christmas display, live entertainment and fireworks as well as a small market on King Edward Street. 

Other events include Hull’s Christmas Festival on 21 and 22 November, which will include a magical Christmas market, funfair rides, food and drink and live entertainment.

Meredith Trowsdale, Senior Visitor Economy Officer at Visit Hull and East Yorkshire, said: “Christmas in Hull this year is set to be the most magical yet, with a sparkling line up of festive shows, events, and seasonal surprises.

“Thank you to Hull Trains for ensuring that families across East Yorkshire will have the opportunity to take part in the festivities, with the very kind offer of free travel when the festive events are happening in our city. 

“As one of our strategic partners, Hull Trains shares our vision of ensuring that Hull is a leading destination to visit. We’ve got plenty to shout about.”

Louise Mendham, Service Delivery Director at Hull Trains, added: “Hull really is the place to be this festive season and ensuring that visitors across East Yorkshire can enjoy the variety of events in the city is very important to us. We look forward to welcoming them onboard. 

“Our partnership with VHEY is a key part of our ambition to champion our home city and encourage travel here from the brilliant destinations we serve on the East Coast Main Line.”

Hull Trains provides affordable travel between East Yorkshire and London and is currently offering tickets up to April 2027 where customers can secure significant savings on fares if they book direct.
Through the operator’s continued demonstration of its commitment to championing customer experience, Hull Trains was recognised as the UK’s number one operator for customer service in a recent national survey.
