Basically all NT services, within NT - except those which have competition, where it extends a little further.

(13 May 2015, 5:17 pm)Tom wrote Not bad, but they'll have to reduce the singles on some of the services as they are more than a single itself (£4.10)

And also that's an increase on the Coaster/Cobalt Clipper!

The justification/reasoning may be that it is valid on more services.
No good, if you only use one service

(13 May 2015, 5:23 pm)Tom wrote Exactly, 15p is a canny bit too!

Arriva's offering is £4.20 for T&W, and £5.80 for T&W + Northumberland. It just depends on where you are travelling for which is cheaper.

Arrivas singles are generally a lot cheaper than GNE's though. 

(13 May 2015, 5:27 pm)Andreos1 wrote 15p or 4% increase. Excellent if you float about North Tyneside. A canny increase if only using one service.

The weekly tickets were staying the same though. No increase on those.

(13 May 2015, 5:35 pm)Tom wrote Yeah I wonder how many people will switch to Arriva as now two singles will be 30p cheaper on Arriva than the return with GNE on the Coast Road stretch (Battle Hill, Station Road etc.)

(13 May 2015, 12:38 pm)DaveyBowyer wrote Not bad that considering the same ticket was £3.00 back in 2006 - 2007.

(13 May 2015, 5:54 pm)Dan wrote Hey, you're right, that's not bad at all.

According to this inflation calculator, which has been used on many occasions on this forum in the past, £3.00 in 2006 is worth £4.00 now, yet this new DaySaver costs £3.90!


Arriva's single fares may be cheaper, but I'd suggest most customers opt for day/weekly tickets...

According to G-CPTN above, Go North East's offering on this new ticket is £3.90 and £13.00 respectively, whereas Arriva's Blyth + Tyne & Wear Triple ticket costs £5.80 and £22.60 respectively.

(13 May 2015, 6:02 pm)Tom wrote Arrivas Day Return could well be less than £3.90 though?

(13 May 2015, 8:09 pm)Robert wrote I would say Newcastle is busier on a Saturday than a weekday. Somewhere like Consett and Chester-le-Street are different as they aren't major places and only really ever attract people when there are markets on.

Could one of the Admins edit my Post so it shows the Photos, as the "Insert Image" thing from Flickr never works for me, thanks.

(14 May 2015, 4:47 pm)Robert wrote Thats...different. Doesn't look too bad either if im honest. I would agree with you saying the 33/33A will carry the same brand too.

Would imagine the full allocation will become Cadet now.
