(17 Jul 2019, 12:12 pm)ifm001 My gripe with the new zones is South Tyneside still has been kept to a minimal link with Gateshead and Newcastle. A Boldon to Heworth journey still requires a 2 zone ticket for a journey time of less than 10 minutes. But a journey from Blyth to Washington via Newcastle can still be done on 1 zone taking nigh on 90-120 minutes. The re think of the zones is still not just quite right.
But realistically is anyone doing that journey going to buy a day ticket?
No matter what they do, it's always going to be bad for some people, that's just the nature of splitting the area into zones.
