(21 Sep 2019, 11:04 am)Rob44 i noticed last night that GNE social media was advising customers for the 56 to head to gateshead to start their journey due to traffic problems. My question is if i'm in Newcastle and was planning on buying a single to say Washington would i be expected to pay £1.60 to gateshead then the full fare to Washington or would the drivers let me on in Newcastle and drop me off at gateshead?
I was wondering that too. It's all well and good assuming everybody has day/weekly/monthly tickets where they can just hop on one bus at Newcastle then onto another at Gateshead, but that's not the case with all passengers.
It could be open to abuse as well if you say would the driver let you on at Newcastle? Someone could pretend they're travelling to Concord etc when in reality they're only travelling from Newcastle to Gateshead and could get themselves a free ride.
