For example, when the bridge collapsed on the Blaydon Highway and passengers had to use other services to Newcastle from the Metrocentre and vice versa particularly on one day when most got terminated there. Could there not have been an option for passengers to buy single and return tickets on the TEN services on board the 6/45/46/47?

They would of been a message put over the drivers radio telling them to accept all tickets valid between certain points.

But if passengers get on say the 21 at low fell to newcastle and get a return they can return on the no 1 too as its between the same points on the journey.
