I'm pleased Washington is in two zones and you have the flexibility to use a one zone ticket.
I also like the size of the zones, but I don't like the fact there's no overlap on each zone.
As an example, it is more expensive sitting on one bus from Houghton to Chester than it is South Shields to Hartlepool or Birtley to Ashington.
I appreciate there will always be winner's and losers, but the potential to offer those living on the border of a zone - some sort of incentive, is sadly lacking.
I don't know if it's just me, but I'd always get the All Zone ticket even if I was travelling in one zone, just for the piece of mind that I could go out of the area if I needed
