(07 Jan 2015, 7:55 pm)danpick Yet it's valid on WTX.

(07 Jan 2015, 7:56 pm)MarcTheA4 Like I say, I've just seen it somewhere, maybe on the Twitter page?
Can't remember what, but I think a single journey is £2.30 regardless of having a Get Around key.
Can anyone confirm?

The discrepancies are perhaps incorrectly being pointed in the direction of two operators, when in fact, it's down to Northumberland Council not willing to fund such fares. Transport was one of the first things that both Northumberland and Durham council decided to slash, whilst both still remained willing to fund the ENCTS scheme, outside of the statutory hours. Priorities seem wrong to me?
Tyne and Wear of course working differently. Homes in all five of the Tyne and Wear councils pay a transport levy, whereas I don't in Durham for example. That money is ring fenced, and partially used by Nexus in order to support the child singles and day tickets. Nexus have continued to retain this, despite pressures to reduce their budget.
Perhaps write to your councillors, and ask them to explain why you don't get the same benefits of those in Tyne and Wear?
(07 Jan 2015, 7:57 pm)Dan It's the same in Edinburgh with Lothian Buses' prestigious Airlink 100 service. Normal fares aren't valid. Go North East's equivalent is the 'Tyne Tees Xpress'. The £3.75 day ticket is still valid.
The 'Wear Tees Xpress', as much as it pains me to say it () is not a prestigious service. It is an express service which also provides local links.
A single on the 'Wear Tees Xpress' X7 service? I think it's more-or-less a flat rate of £5.50.

(07 Jan 2015, 8:32 pm)MrFozz About to talk shite now
Something I always wanted to know...why does a fart in the bath smell worse than normal...And why farts always seem to be smellier in public i.e. in a shop, on the bus etc...
I used to be quite well known for being able to clear the top of a decker, it is still talked about today

He found two valid McDonalds / Burger King vouchers on this particular occasion, if you're wondering.

Frustrating how I cannot download some of the rare songs from work to my iPhone the artists you cannot get due to being done by amateurs I've heard songs that the lyrics have stuck in my head some decent tunes
