Go North East: Service Suggestions v2

There is a market for them and they need to priced in such a way that people find them attractive and it encourages people to use the bus.
I often need to buy singles due to the nature of my work.
I get the train to the station, use the train to another part of the country and come back a day or two later.
I won't be the only one and it costs a fortune for me to use the bus in this manner (check out Houghton - Durham single fares).
Prior to the weekend, I last used the bus in mid December. Circumstances meant I had to buy a single then (check out the price of a single from Newcastle - Houghton).
If the 24 hour tickets hadn't been launched, then both mine and MrsC's ticket at the weekend would have been a single, alongside the one my mate bought.
It would have been a single for both myself and MrsC the following day too.
The cost of each of those singles just fall below the cost of a day ticket.
It would have been nice to have gone to Hexham or the beach, but time and circumstances didn't allow us to do so. As I imagine it wouldn't quite a few others.
