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.

That's not the only one which, in my opinion, offers good value...

Green, Red and Blue (also covering Gateshead/Metrocentre in Purple) cover quite a distance and would get quite a lot of people to work... When the OK1 was operational, I think that Turquoise also offered tremendous value for money. Do agree with aureolin that Green should include the parts covered by the X21 though, now that the OK1 has been withdrawn.
