Eldon Square - 62.7p
Haymarket - 55p
Gateshead - 47p
Park Lane Interchange - 47p
Four Lane Ends - 26p
That's pretty expensive, to be honest. Consider a bus service like the X66 - there's probably about 700 departures per week? This is just guess work...
700 x 47p - £329
£329 x 52 = £17108 per year
Crikey, I didn't think that the costs would be so high just for one service!
Here's a question for you all... If a service is secured by Nexus and is operated by say, Go North East... Do Go North East pay for it, or does the tender?
