Mind, once we make that move into Durham, he'll be able to make more use of gne's £1 fares, since the house we're buying is right on several gne routes.

GNEs ludicrous stage and fare zones continue to baffle me...
Durham to Birtley £4.40
Durham to Newcastle £4.40
That's a 14 mile difference in distance

I used EYMS Service 6 on Thursday from Scarborough North Bay to Rail Station due to heavy rain, an approximate journey of 8 Minutes and it cost 50p for an Adult Single much to my surprise given I had put down £2, in terms of distance I would of said it was like going from Lambton to The Galleries, that's £1.10 difference between two different operators from different areas.
(02 Sep 2017, 9:03 pm)Ambassador No. Low Fell and Birtley have high levels of car ownership, the only thing they have in common is virtual monopolies by GNE aside a half hourly limited stop express service from Arriva.

(02 Oct 2017, 4:48 pm)Andreos1 Is it £2 per trip or £2 all evening?I have checked this with the Communications Team and they confirm that the Sunderland evening rider covers all the trips you may wish to make in the defined area from 19:00.
Not too clear.

Given that it's listed under "day tickets" which state "Our day tickets allow you to make as many journeys as you like for one day on Stagecoach buses.
They offer more value for money than buying a single or return, as you can travel on all our buses within your chosen ticket zone."
https://www.stagecoachbus.com/regionalti...daytickets
To be fair, none of the other tickets seem to actually specify that they're valid on multiple journeys. Presumably Stagecoach assume that people who use their services, are familiar enough with the suffix "rider", to know that it's a generic Stagecoach term for a multi journey ticket.

So even for someone making a £2.20 single journey it would be cheaper to buy the evening rider at £2.00.

(09 Oct 2017, 12:05 pm)Andreos1 Two bus trips over the weekend, a combined duration of approx 45 minutes (30mins + 15mins) and a wallet that's £7.90 lighter.
Not sure what word/s I should use to describe my feelings...
