How did it work? Have never heard of the scheme before now.


How many thousand are trialling the metro card?
Guessing it is more than on the 40b, but if a few trials are running concurrently, then it will involve quite a few people.

99% sure it was when Go Ahead Northern was broken up into separate divisions (Wear Buses.VFM Buses etc...), When it was Go-Ahead Northern their was no such thing as weekly tickets etc..., only weekly tickets etc... was Busways faresaver and TWPTE Network ticketing, I never purchased goaheads tickets as I first went onto purchasing Network travel tickets and stuck to it, only time when I purchased the busways faresaver was when Go Ahead Northern was on strike. I was 15 when I first purchased a monthly all zone network travel ticket at a price of £29ish, don't know what passengers had in County Durham as their was no such week tickets.
