Your point doesn't really stand though, does it?

It is advertised as a Gateshead Borough ticket, yet the ticket includes Springwell, which lies outside the Borough of Gateshead.

A small point of contention, perhaps. But if you're going to use the "Newcastle isn't the Borough of Gatehsead" argument, then you must accept that neither is Springwell and, ergo, your argument is flawed.

I do however agree it is much ado about nothing. And if GNE had of gotten it right at the start there would be no confusion, and thus no 'ado' to get worked up about.
