Tbf tho there's pretty much already capped fares around anyway with the transfares. I know it causes some anomalies with Arriva over boundaries where you could buy a single to a boundary then a single from there to Newcastle cheaper than a single fare throughout. If you charged the capped fares above the actual singles can't see the operators complaining and if you do multiple journeys your going to be at the day rover price pretty much straight away anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if there's some with GNE around Durham area as there seems to be some steep fares from Houghton towards Durham.

But then you've got the longer distance routes where a single is ~£5. 

Nobody is going to want to have a flat fare of £5, and operators aren't going to want to drop a ticket down from £5 to £2.

I know when I want to travel back up to Gateshead, it's actually cheaper for me to get the 5-25 day ticket than it is to get a single.
