My question is if i'm in Newcastle and was planning on buying a single to say Washington would i be expected to pay £1.60 to gateshead then the full fare to Washington or would the drivers let me on in Newcastle and drop me off at gateshead?
You can still purchase a fare to Newcastle, and then just use that to board a connecting bus to Newcastle. All drivers should be aware of it, as it'll have been announced over the air (and I believe to the ETMs as a driver message)
