This is why in T&W, the 9.30 bus is always rammed with pensioners (and probably very late as a result).

Therefore if you have a T&W or Durham pass and you are getting on in Northumberland at 915am you will be charged whereas the Northumberland pass holder who got on in front of you will have gotten on for free. Quite a few pass holders fall foul of thisTees Valley is 30p pre 0930 for their pass holders.

That was also due to transfer to Stockton.
