The 73-mile route in the North of England is considered one of the most beautiful thanks to its views of the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria countryside.
The railway is allowing passengers to ride the entire length of the route from Leeds to Carlisle – and everywhere in-between for £1.50.
You can buy one of these cheap tickets from now until May 22 for travel between May 22 and July 17.
Alex Hornby, Northern’s Commercial and Customer Director said: “The Settle to Carlisle Railway is famous around the world for its spectacular scenery and community engagement.
“We want as many people as possible to share in the experience of this wonderful line, which is why we’re offering everyone the chance to travel for just £1.50 during the 150th anniversary year.”
The stretch of railway has consistently been dubbed one of the most picturesque by the likes of Lonely Planet.
It said: “Passengers can feast their eyes on mile after mile of magnificent Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines scenery, interrupted only by stations so pretty you would expect to find them pictured on a box of biscuits.”
The line is part of the British rail network and serves both mainline and steam trains.
The most famous part of the route is the the Ribblehead viaduct which was first built in 1870.
It’s described as “a stunning piece of Victorian engineering” by the Yorkshire Dales National Park website.
They added: “Ribblehead viaduct is just over the border from Cumbria into North Yorkshire and is undoubtedly the most impressive structure on the Settle-Carlisle Railway.”
