It's £2/£3* cheaper, but it's hard to directly compare. If you live on a route where there's GNE/ANE competition, such as the Pity Me/Framwellgate Moor/Durham City Centre stretch, then it's going to win some customers over for sure, but I think there's a missed opportunity in there not being a new link to East Durham College for example. My understanding is that Arriva only offer multi trip student tickets on a termly basis, which is outside the affordability of some students. Students wanting a weekly ticket would need to pay the relevant adult fare, or £13 for the week.
So in summary - certainly a positive, but some opportunities to work on.
* For the £1 you get Brandon Zones too.
