Arriva are definitely cheaper around Durham city. It used to be that it was cheaper to buy Arriva weekly/monthly tickets than GNE to get to Spenny, too, though the GNE zones change may have fixed that as an ANE durham district ticket has become more pricey as that area has expanded and GNE all zones isn't much more, now. It's still cheaper to get to Newcastle and back from durham on ANE but I've only ever done that once. I set out to do that another time and the X12 didn't even show up, so I just got the next Angel and a Castles daysaver. I'd rather pay a pound odd more for a guarantee that I don't have to wait an hour for a bus to show up.
