and this would be £7.80 if you own the key card and are paying full fare.

Thanks for your help so far. From looking online at the buzzfare zones and noticing that it would be 4 zones (blue purple, red and turquoise), would I need to ask the driver for a four zone buzzfare with the said colours or should I just ask for an all zones buzzfare which of the website is correct should be £7.80. Thanks again Chris

The  3 zone ticket automatically covers you for all zones. Think it prints as a 3zone+.

As I said earlier though, depending on your method of payment for the Metro and Arriva service - the Explorer may work out cheaper.

Thanks a lot for your help and I think the 3+ zone buzzfare will be the way to go

Cheers again

It's only 3 zones per trip mate. The ticket allows you to go on any route, regardless of zones and starting points for unlimited usage until the day time buses finish (I think it's the 49 at 00:50?).

Further on from what you have posted, the 4 zones I had said comes from getting the 19 from Northumberland Park Interchange to Cobalt South and then the 309 from Cobalt South to Haymarket Bus station. After this I would then get the Tyne Tees express to Middlesbrough.


I take it this would be travelling through 4 zones?

No idea, last heard they would head to Percy Main for the 17.

The light Red ones to stop at Deptford for the 39. 


Heard nothing since... nothing is confirmed, i would imagine Dan or Citaro would confirm soon though, with the Sunderland services changing on Sunday and with the reallocation of buses along with the remaining Prince Bishops Streetlites to enter service.

Should be a few busy months

Seen this on the NEXUS site:


31 May 2016 - Bus Station Closure - Concord, Washington

Concord Bus Station in Washington will close on Tuesday 31 May to Friday 3 June. Extensive highway reconstruction work is needed at the entrance to the station and will result in all buses being moved to alterative or temporary bus stops on Heworth Road, Blue House Lane, Victoria Road and Manor Road.
Once final details are agreed, information for passengers will be posted on the stands in the bus station and online.

Seems it was a smashed window.

Happened to 5394 a few months ago, 8318 replaced it while it was parked with the window at the wheelchair spot smashed. It has been back for about one or two months, but I hadn't seen it for a while when it happened.
