I've seen plenty of people shocked or almost insulted when their ticket won't scan in the town and when the driver has checked the ticket it's a Gateshead Day Saver.  Something to the effect of:

"Can't use that here"
"Why not?"
"Because this is Newcastle, not Gateshead"

As for the map, you can see from rest of the boundary mirroring the route of the river that at no point does it cross into the Tyne, nevermind over it.

I’d completely agree with you if it wasn’t for two things: 
1) A map that merged Newcastle and Gateshead into one super bubble
2) A ‘Sunderland District’ ticket that actually goes into County Durham. 

There’s something to be said though about how many zones they’re are now, whilst I appreciate cheaper bus travel. In Seaham, you now have the option of the following day tickets: 

• Seaham and Murton: £4.00
  
• Sunderland District: £4.00
  
• County Durham: £5.00
  
• Red Zone: £5.30
  
• All Zone: £7.00 
  

There’s a fear of too many options. I mean I guess the Sunderland District and County Durham are temporary options, for now.
