Na, you're going in to a 638 route.

Boldon Asda to Low Moorsley is quite long already. (29 and 35 route combined) 

However, GNE with NEXUS's help will continue to run to Heworth on a Evening/Sunday:

Evening and Sunday services will operate as service 35A, starting at Heworth and running via Castletown, replacing the present service 29A. 35A will then serve the hospital and Silksworth, with one bus an hour running to Low Moorsley and the other to Houghton-le-Spring, with through fares and guaranteed connections to new short X35 services for South Hetton.

The X36 will still serve Heworth hourly.

Once again, this is if changes go ahead

Go North East's offering of £11.80 for a weekly ticket against Arriva's £13.00 weekly ticket in the Durham City zone isn't bad.

However, Arriva charge £25.00 for a weekly ticket in the Durham County zone.

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.
