Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017

[Tom]

Tremendous prices, really, but it'll be interesting to see how it pans out in the long term.

I've always thought that Stagecoach's day ticket represents very good value for money, but at the same time, wondered how much money they must make from that ticket. Now they're introducing even cheaper return tickets which represent even better value for money, for infrequent travellers.

Crusader made an interesting point recently elsewhere on the forum here. Competition is all well and good - only time will tell what sort of impact this will have on both Stagecoach and Go North East's services operating between the City Centre and Silksworth. If neither operator is making money on these services, we could well see further cutbacks (from either operator).

GNE are £2.70 for a return Silksworth to Sunderland so not a massive difference to be fair.
