(15 Jul 2019, 10:03 pm)beefcake I find it odd that the X9/10 have been given a separate ticket whilst the X21 which takes longer end to end hasn't. Is it an oversight or is it down to the fact that there's competition on that corridor whereas the GNE offering between Teesside and Tyneside is considerably quicker than what Arriva offer?
Separate route saver tickets are still available. Castles express for the X21.

I think they've got rid of it now, at least they don't mention it on the new tickets

5364 needs its NSA adjusted, each announcement is repeated, with the second sometimes starting before the first has finished

574 CPT has gone on the spare bus for Toon Tour instead - Go North East do a fair bit of work with the CPT so if they were to ever hire an open-topper, it'd be good for them to have their name on the plate of the bus! 3965 re-registered as NK06JXB.
3962 still has JCN822.

It’s not a new ticket hence why it’s not been mentioned. In our briefing it states “ we will continue to sell route saver tickets. Angel, Castles Express, Citylink, Crusader, Saltwell Park and Tyne Valley Ten”.

Well, that's good. They could have made it a bit clearer on the website though!

(16 Jul 2019, 5:57 pm)ne14ne1I wish they did a central Gateshead - central Newcastle zone. I currently have to buy singles each day as it works out cheaper.
They kinda do, if you get the Saltwell Parks that is.

Having seen the revised zoning I have to say with fares becoming cheaper is a very positive move from GNE, However I do have one gripe to pick from this and that is the zoning of Consett which I feel should be in the "Green Zone" along with the rest of the places within County Durham.
I can't help but feel this a stunt on GNE's part to recoup a massive amount of money spent on the new depot in Consett along with the new buses due later in the year. The vast majority of passengers in other areas are going to be purchasing either one or two zones passes depending on where they are travelling for work etc, however those in Consett have to purchase an All Zones pass at either £25 on the app or £30 on the bus whereas elsewhere a one zone is £20 on the app and £23 on the bus, in effect those in Consett are paying between £5 and £7 more to travel to the likes of Newcastle.
If I was living within Consett I would complaining to the local authorities etc in order for GNE to reverse this decision so that are treated equally to any other passenger within the local region.

Consett has always been in a separate zone since the removal of the buzz fares. All journeys from Consett to Newcastle required a 3 zone ticket. So in reality on a standard return, getting a new day ticket will be 50p cheaper or £1.20 cheaper on a day ticket. The losers are those travelling to Stanley or Durham whose fares will rise by 30p

Lets get onto the local authority and lets get the decision reversed and make them pay higher fares....only right as well
