It might be to do with Northumberland being a bigger county, Berwick to Blyth to Haltwhistle is quite a distance, I'd imagine that's the excuse used.

Aye, true mind. Can't see there being many journeys doing it, only really Morpeth to Berwick that's possible since there's no way of getting across to the West without going through Newcastle. Can't imagine there's many people doing Ashington to Berwick every day etc.

Same could be said about Tyne and Wear though, £6 is steep if you live in Washington and only travel to Sunderland and Newcastle via bus. It's cheaper than the GNE alternative I believe. Yet someone can travel from Berwick to Morpeth for £1 less.

It's why they need to change it from zones to type of travel instead imo.
