I'm struggling to see the logic as they're both Network One tickets, one simply includes outside of TW for an additional cost. Do Nexus/Network One know about/appreciate the selective acceptance of their ticketing range?

Why wouldn't they accept an explorer? I've almost definitely accepted explorer tickets bought on GCT buses.
Please note that the Explorer North East Ticket is NOT valid on:
– Go North East Seasider X11 service to Whitby/Scarborough
– Trains (except Sunderland to Blaydon rail line)
– East Yorkshire Buses
– National Express coaches
– Pre-booked coach tours
– Hadrian’s Wall service
– Moorbus services
– City sightseeing tours

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Train8261 - 13 Oct 2021
It's just a few driver recently have said they won't accept a Day rover or Explorer as its not valid.
I hope it isn't affecting GNE North Tyneside night services

They are valid, so should be being accepted.

According to a driver yesterday on the 333. They only accept the ticket during the pandemic (when the tickets were valid on all buses)

Ask them if they issue the tickets. Then question why they are selling them, if they don't accept them.

I've had a Go North East driver attempt to refuse an Explorer because I bought it on an Arriva service, so that made it an Arriva Explorer and not a GNE one .....

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Rob44 - 14 Oct 2021
ive had arriva drivers look at me strangely when I've produced a day rover bought on a GNE service before. Never been refused travel or had to argue though

Fortunately, I've never had that problem before.
I have had a GNE driver on a Nexus route (might have been the 37 when GNE had that), query the use of a GNE issued Day Rover though.
'I dunno if I can accept that ticket'.
'why? You're a GNE driver, this is a ticket issued by one of your colleagues at the same depot, it's a Network Travel ticket fare, your employer and Nexus are part of the scheme'.
He looked at me, looked at the machine and told me and my eldest to sit down.
He didn't process my ticket and didn't bother looking at the eldests £1 CAT ticket.
Never had any issue prior to then or since.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Rob44 - 14 Oct 2021
if the ticket had the GNE logo on perhaps the GCT driver thought it was one of GNE own tickets like a purple zone ticket? From the response of the GCT driver it suggests this was the case??

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Rob44 - 14 Oct 2021
Sound like he/she needs training on what tickets to accept then
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - ThomasBooth123 - 14 Oct 2021
