Nar, neither could I to be fair, especially if I didn't use it outside of commuting to/from work.
While the Arriva ticket offers limited flexibility south of the Tyne, the northern section isn't that bad. I'd take my chances and opt for the cheaper ticket. If that doesn't pan out, then there's greater justification for the Network One ticket.
