(02 Apr 2015, 6:52 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote How do you mean? You can buy a Get Around day ticket (like me) for £3.75, which can be purchased from the driver and so is a paper ticket, or you can purchase your tickets online.

(02 Apr 2015, 6:53 pm)danpick wrote It's the Day Ticket as I'm getting it on Saturday.

(02 Apr 2015, 6:54 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Just get on any Go North East bus, ask for a ''Get Around'' and s/he'll charge you £3.75 for a day ticket.

(03 Apr 2015, 1:34 pm)Robert wrote Possibly because the streetlites are nowhere near ready to enter service yet so they havent bothered doing any changes yet apart from changing the web link in advance? I can't even find the link that GuyParkRoyal has just posted either.

Makes sense as you don't want to be confusing passengers with having two different brands for the same services and the new StreetLite's will have new enhanced features that the Volvo B10BLE's don't have, WiFI charging points etc. so you don't want people complaining thinking they are getting a new bus with these features than a R reg B10BLE turns up with non of the features advertised.

(03 Apr 2015, 2:04 pm)aureolin wrote It's a bus though, not a bike. If they're not continuing the route as a 'cycle friendly' route, which the leaflet makes no mention of, it makes no sense.

Maybe I'm taking far too much of a simplistic view, but id expect a bus with 'Coast' on the side to go somewhat near a coastline? Nearest would be Seaburn, which is at least a good 20 minute walk, unless the route is going to change?
