Not on a Saturday; you can use them all day on weekends and bank holidays.
Only thing I would be careful with is that some drivers won't let you use it past Greenhead (it's not officially the Tyne Valley, which is the limitation on the Teen Card). 9 out of 10 drivers will let you use it to Carlisle though.
