Remember that the "Wear Tees Xpress" service X7 is in fact included in the "East Durham" route saver day ticket which permits unlimited travel on all "East Durham" services, "Fast Cats" X35 and "Wear Tees Xpress" service X7 between Sunderland and Station Town - costing £4.60.
Arriva reducing their fares actually brings their prices further in line with Go North East's fares. Let's face it - they'd stand no chance of stealing any customers from the competition if they kept their two zone day ticket prices at £5.70 (ie £1.10 more expensive, allowing for shorter distance journeys).
