The only thing I'd be concerned about is that you're pretty restricted buying a weekly ticket in that area with GNE. If you're not on the 18's route - you're going to have to fork out for Arriva in addition or potentially walk some distance.
It's obviously restricted on the around of potential customers but if you are on the 18 route and travel to Durham etc. regularly then it's excellent value. If GNE launched a few more routes then potential buyer would increase but would these costs cover the cost of the service?
