Do they perhaps think people who use these services don't use any other GNE services? Or maybe...they are just a bit stupid? Interesting...

Because GNE don't consider the X9/X10 to be a standard service, it has it's own separate ticket and zone.

They have the special X9/X10 Local tickets which as far as I know are only valid on the X9/X10 and Dalton Park/Peterlee areas and cost the same as the All Zone ticket at £95 a month (or £7 a day, £25 a week), or the have the X9/X10 Plus ticket which is what the 3 Zone+ ticket used to be at £110 a month.

So for those of us that rarely used the X9/X10, we save £15 a month, but they also decided to remove the ability to travel on it between Newcastle and Gateshead, which to be totally honest isn't really an issue due to the amount of buses GNE run between them.
