"Hexham to North Tyneside College – you could save up to £295.50 if you buy a Get Around Pay Monthly Ticket in comparison to buying a weekly 2 zone Buzzfare ticket."
Is it possible to travel from Hexham to North Tyneside College on a 2 zone Buzzfare ticket? Hexham being in the Orange zone, and North Tyneside College being in the Blue? Both the X84/X85 and the TEN services pass through the Cherry Zone, with the latter also using the Purple zone.
Short and simple answer would be No, unless you were Travelling from Crawcrook/Rockwood Hill.
Personally I would love to know how Go North East hae worked this out, As the Zonal System from Hexham wouldn't allow for such savings as stated on there Website. As Passengers would have to Travel through 4 Zones to get to North Tyneside College, Resulting in said Passenger having to Purchase a 3 Zone+ Ticket for a Day/Week/Month or Annually if they can afford to so.
