As well as that, if the Metro is ever off and a replacement bus is sourced, some people might just use the 11 for the sake of convenience rather than use the replacement service. That alone would be a canny earner for GNE.
I would say you might want to contact GNE and clarify the fare stages though.
To be honest it doesn't really effect me as I don't buy adult fares I just thought it was strange and it noticed the person got off when he was quoted £3.30.
I might do though. For the area being a monopoly the fares are pretty cheap compared to areas like Stanley and Consett!
