I've managed to buy the £6 Tyne and Wear ticket (as well as the £6.80 regionwide one) on multiple occasions so I don't understand what the problem is in procuring it?

If I was Nexus - I'd be tempted to axe the Day Rover and lower the regionwide one to £6.50

TNE Day Saver (means very little to anyone) and Day Rover just sound really archaic branding names too that mean little to Customers.

The whole thing is a mess and it's not just the Rover. 

imo they need one set of zones which the Metro, Network, Northern Rail and TNE all use and have a set of prices of all 3. 

Then has a Bus Only, Metro + Train Only and All Models for respective zones. Other places like London can seem to manage it with Oyster but as per usual the North East has to have numerous different systems for the hell of it.

It's not as if the Metro zones are miles off where things are now. They could easily just have the new Zone D for the whole of Northumberland outside the border areas which should be in Zone C and do similar at the other side with the likes of Chester Le Street, Seaham and Piston in Zone C and the rest in Zone D and even a further outer Zone E.

If someone wants to go on a magical mystery tour trying to get from Berwick to Barnard Castle in only Zone D then good on them.

I agree.. one ticket £6.50 all zones

I see that some of the company vehicles have new vinyls on the nearside window by the entrance door showing the range of fares and day tickets, which is the first time the £3.00.  21 & under Day tickets have been advertised onboard buses since the introduction of it last year.

Going back to my post regarding side vinyls, I see NONE of Sunderland (Deptford) buses have been done

And none of deptford or Washington I believe has had the upgraded ticketer machines put in

That is on pause for now,as I believe there are a few problems with the updated Ticketer,.

I hope the new machines process contactless a little quicker. It's a painful experience in a queue

The Day Rover and Day Saver have nothing to do with Nexus, they are TNE tickets funded through the BSIP.
What’s missing in my view is a TNE area wide bus only ticket.

Can’t all be done at once!! 
I’m sure they will be done in due course.

Should have them fitted next month (Ticketer currently rolling out the new machines at Go South Coast).

Because it's £1.90 from Newcastle to Gateshead Interchange. It's £2 for anywhere else in the rest of the journey, including from Gateshead Interchange to Jackson Street, that would be £2.

A bargain! 
£2.60 on the Metro

Couldn't agree more. 

This would have been a good way to deliver better value to bus-only users in Tyne and Wear, as presumably the cost of delivering the ticket would be lower, without Metro taking a cut?

Yes they were much quicker in the couple of weeks we had them before they got taken off again. They'd constantly crash but they were much faster when they worked.
