No idea.
Quite a few saw their fares increase massively when the system was relaunched.
Quite a few have seen a boundary introduced around their administrative towns.
Quite a few have seen arbitrary zones introduced in the section between Consett and Newcastle.

That red zone is canny though. Can get a bargain day out, so suppose passengers living there have seen some benefit (despite those living in the T&W part paying almost twice the price following the changes (see first paragraph).

There will always be winners and losers as has been pointed out a few times.
