4967 has been repaired. I saw it on a road test in Dunston heading towards Riverside Depot on Tuesday morning (around 07:45).

Would a Return ticket only be valid to literally across the road from where I boarded earlier in the day? Would I be able to stay on for a couple of stops within the same area? Thanks.

Anywhere within that farestage, so it really depends where you're travelling to/from.

Shouldn't really be promoted, but it was discussed the other day on this forum about over-riding. Driver wouldn't really know where you were supposed to get off on a return ticket as it's scanned as you board - but obviously there is a revenue protection team and you may run into them, if you do travel outside of that farestage.

Interestingly, most drivers are happy with scanning of return tickets, but a small number then ask you to hand over your ticket so that they can tear off the QR code.  Not sure if there is an official policy?

Yes, that was me just interested how the system worked in terms of preventing over-riding. I will never -over-ride, and that is why I was asking how specific a return is, so thanks for the help on that. I don't wish to over-ride by accident or intentionally. Because I never see inspectors anywhere, I think over-riding is easy to do intentionally or not.

With regard over-riding, is there ever any leeway? 

I.e staying on one to two stops into the next fare stage?
