TransPennine Express is affordable, sustainable, and connects ten cities, each with something different to see. Along the way, you'll pass UNESCO sites, former industrial areas that have changed a lot, and open landscapes that will make you want to take a moment.

Durham: best for laid-back history and river walks
Durham's got a bit of everything—historic streets, green spaces, and a student crowd that keeps it from feeling too sleepy. Start with a walk along the River Wear (it's peaceful and easy-going), or rent a rowing boat if you'd rather take it all in from the water.
Climb Arthur's Seat, wander around the Castle, then catch a show or two during the Edinburgh Fringe if you're here in the summer. In winter, things slow down—perfect for gallery-hopping and warming up with a whisky tasting somewhere cosy.
Sheffield has come a long way from its steel-making days. These days, it's known for its live music scene, small breweries, and indoor climbing spots. It also happens to sit right next to the Peak District, so it's easy to spend part of your trip outdoors without leaving the city behind.
Liverpool has its own rhythm, and you'll notice it right away. As a UNESCO City of Music, it's got plenty to explore—The Beatles Story Museum, the Cavern Club, and The British Music Experience are all easy stops if you're into music history.
