Day tickets can often to be cheaper on to north East. My only day ticket option with Arriva is a £7+ all zone ticket. Compared to the Buzzfares GNE offer. However Arriva's fare along Stockton road undercut go North East Mill Inn-Sunderland is £2.10 vs £2.70. 60p cheaper with Arriva- obviously this is almost certainly to attract custom along New Seaham-Sunderland area due to GNE's frequent services along this route.
That said GNE's simplified structure can be very confusing. 50p difference between TEN service depending if you travel 10A/10B. And Stanley-Sunderland, Same single but different return its daft really.
You don't have to purchase a £7 day ticket - they also have triple tickets.
