Curious but which service is quickest from Newcastle into Gateshead
Had a meeting in Gateshead and my hatred of Metro left me sitting stuck on the X1 for 15 minutes

But then I'd have to walk up Jackson Street and Gateshead High Street and I'd feel safer in Chernobyl about 2 minutes before the explosion

Front of some of the new WearTees Xpress buses says weekly tickets from £11.40? Which weekly tickets are those are like? One zone buzzfare is £18 which covers you as far as Middlesbrough-Peterlee or Seaham-Sunderland and you'd need a £24 two zone for full route. X7 doesn't have a route saver. Even a Peterlee town saver is £10.30 but no point promoting that for the short journeys that could be Essington Way-Moorcock.

Sunderland - Grangetown on the Sunderland Weekly Saver.

Hardly worth mentioning, the likelihood of some one wanting to go to that particular stop in Grangetown is very limited. More point in saying £10.30 Peterlee saver IMO.
Grangetown stop is hardly used anyways.

I don't agree with the use of it, just saying what I think it is.
The rear of 5335 advertises a weekly ticket for £18 and the rear of 5336 advertises a day ticket for £4.65.

Especially when passengers could get a 42 and use the £8.30 weekly ticket...

What's the point of advertising those if they don't say what they are?!

It is very similar to an airline selling a cheap ticket - but not telling you the limitations to that ticket or the fact it goes every second Tuesday from Bristol at 25past 4 in the morning.
The advertisement stirs interest and the passenger decides to use the service, thinking the price is correct for the journey they specifically want to make.

Yes, exactly this. A sneaky but clever marketing tool to entice new customers into using the product - it's something done in other businesses outside of the transport industry too.
If the price isn't what the customer expected as per said marketing, there is a chance that the customers will still try it out and if they like it, go back for more.

It's either that, or they don't get the bus out of principle.
When I worked in a well known retail establishment many moons ago, customers would complain the price wasn't what was advertised on the window outside. When we pointed out the price was 'from', they reluctantly paid or stormed off, never to be seen again.

I passed a broken-down Toonlink whilst driving through High Spen at around 4-ish.
I think the bus in question was 5148.
