(27 Apr 2018, 6:17 pm)Jamie M Starts at Kingston Park, I've only gotten a few stops between Wallsend and North Shields before, even that somehow takes 40 minutes or so. But the 353 was a nice ride out, so I'd imagine still is now.

(27 Apr 2018, 6:25 pm)OrangeArrow49 Perhaps a nice ride out in one direction, I would think.It's a string of contracts from what I see.
The 42A is probably the longest bus service GNE offers. I don't know why it goes all over the place!

To go to Byker, would it be more sensible to walk to and from Newcastle City Centre or to and from Byker to save on the bus fares? Thanks.

only you can make that decision.

(28 Apr 2018, 8:29 pm)OrangeArrow49 I am just looking for some advice on what is realistically the most achievable. Getting the bus only between Newcastle Centre and Byker and walking between home and the City Centre saves the most on bus fares, but means walking much further distances each way.
I am looking at ways of saving money on ever-increasing bus fares (and travel costs in general). Therefore I am thinking from the viewpoint that I might end up working somewhere I can either get the bus to or walk to, but working a full day with all that walking, I need to figure out what is realistically achievable.
Thank you.

(15 Apr 2018, 10:59 pm)mb134 I think even split day return tickets would be a good start.
Nightshift staff, for example, would have to buy one return rather than two singles, and may be more inclined to use the bus if they don't already. Same could be said for airport buses, people going for nights out, etc...

With GNE increasing prices from 9th May (some prices not changing). Will GNE ever remove £10 contactless limit because theirs a lot fares now over the limit?
"New ticket prices from 9 May 2018

Having had a look through some of the core tickets, the increases seem to to be a bit bizarre to say the least. Increases ranging from 1.96% to a whopping 13.3%, with the under 18s dis-proportionally affected. Oh and at a time we're told that inflation has fallen to the lowest point in the last year at 2.5% - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43808716
18 & Under tickets -
Day ticket rises from £3.80 to £4.00 (5.26%)
Weekly ticket rises from £15.50 to £17.00 (9.67%)
Monthly ticket rises from £60.00 to £68.00 (13.3%)
Buzzfare tickets -
1 Zone Day - Rises from £5.10 to £5.20 (1.96%)
2 Zone Day - Rises from £6.50 to £6.70 (3.07%)
3+ Zone Day - Rises from £8.00 to £8.20 (2.49%)
1 Zone Week - Rises from £21.00 to £23.00 (9.52%)
2 Zone Week - Rises from £27.00 to £30.00 (11.1%)
3+ Zone Week - Rises from £34.00 to £35.00 (2.94%)

Just to avoid any accusations that I am only looking at one side of this, I thought I'd do a comparison for the Town and Route Saver tickets too.
I don't know if it's been mentioned that explorer prices have changed. Adults up from £10 to £10.50 but the child ticket has come down again, to £5.50.
Family explorer tickets remain at £20

Didn't realise Arriva had so many ticket options....
Is the Arriva Northumberland and Tyne & Wear Saver valid on the Stagecoach 685 between Hexham and Newcastle Eldon Square?
