Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: "We hope the 'flash sale' will inspire people to get out and about across the region, for those moments that matter most – days out with the family, catch-ups with friends or for no reason other than to enjoy the beautiful countryside and coastlines our region has to offer.
