Anyway, seeing as the E400MMC has moved on to it's next operator - can somebody remind me where it has go'd?
You will never let that go now

Hehe. Was certainly a stupid mistake.
The only thing that worries me is that people will start to take advantage of it and then incorporate it into their posts whenever there is the opportunity to do so. I think it may have already started...

You probably knew about it as their your photos that GNE would have had to tell you about what they'll be used for

I believe a number of those in support of Quality Contracts have suggested one of the reasons behind this is related to pricing strategies.
Under a Quality Contracts Scheme, Nexus proposes that a journey between Birtley and Gateshead would cover three zones (A, B and C). In 2012, Nexus proposed that a single fare on one mode of transport would cost £2.50. An inflation calculator would suggest that £2.50 in 2012 is now worth £2.72. One would therefore suggest that the fare, under Quality Contracts, would either be £2.70, £2.75 or £2.80 (pretty damn close to the present fare of £2.80!)
Sources:
Dan - Birtley to Gateshead on the QCS fare scheme would only be two zones (B + C). The boundary of zone A/B was moved in the Supplemental Consultation and then remained like this in the final Scheme submitted to the NECA in October 2014. Gateshead Interchange is therefore now in zones A and B (zone B for the purpose of your example above).
