Northern has come up with the perfect playlist to listen to on your commute which pay homage to one of the train operator’s most popular destinations – Manchester.
The track listing pays tribute to the the city’s rock and roll roots with tunes by Oasis, Joy Division and the Stone Roses.
The playlist is 25 minutes long – the length that the average Northern customer spends each way on their daily commute.
Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: “For many people, the commute is the only time of day they truly get to themselves.
“The majority of people that commute with us travel 25 minutes in each direction, that’s 50 minutes a day they could spend listening to music.
Powles added: “Musical enjoyment aside, people that take the train to work also save an average of 48 minutes per day compared to making the same journey by car.
“Everyone can compare the cost, travel time and CO₂e impact of their journey against the equivalent trip by road on the Savings Calculator on our website.”
Northern recommends the following playlist for commuters to and from Manchester:
*Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
*Not Nineteen Forever – Courteeners
*This Charming Man – The Smiths
*Grounds for Divorce – Elbow
*Dreams Never End – New Order
*She Bangs the Drums – The Stone Roses
*Songbird – Oasis
*Charlemagne – Blossoms
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
On Sunday 10 December, rail timetables across the North of England will change in line with the rest of the National Rail network. Customers are encouraged to use the ‘Check My Timetable’ feature on the Northern website for more information about their local station.
