(20 Jun 2015, 9:02 am)Jimmi wrote Probably not with the time I'm expecting to be back in Newcastle.

Even if I could it's annoyingly the X10 I'd have to get and I am not totally confident with catching the 21 from the A19 slip road stop although if there's time I could always walk to the Moorcock stop.

(20 Jun 2015, 9:04 am)Tom wrote The X10 serves Peterlee Bus Station on an evening

(20 Jun 2015, 9:06 am)Jimmi wrote Yeah but the last 21 is at around 1845 from Peterlee I think.

Train is extra pennies, but maybe worth looking at.

NEB's fleet list.

(21 Jun 2015, 12:02 pm)mb134 wrote Something I was meant to ask about the other day, I got an X21 in Bedlington on Friday morning and someone before me asked for a "Student One Zone", which was only £3.20, a pound cheaper than the normal One Zone, is there an option for a Student All Zones, as I need to get to Newcastle from either Bedlington or Morpeth tomorrow morning? 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:05 pm)Tom wrote Yeah, there is a £5 all zone student day ticket. 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:07 pm)mb134 wrote Cheers, do all drivers know about this, the one on Friday didn't have a clue what the Student One Zone was! 

Also, I'm not going to be in 'school uniform', as I'm on a school trip, will I still be able to get it?

(21 Jun 2015, 12:12 pm)Tom wrote They should! 

Do you have a Teen Card? If you do, you will be able to.

The prices have gone up, they are:
1 Zone - £3.30
2 Zone - £4.10
All Zone - £5.10

(21 Jun 2015, 12:15 pm)mb134 wrote Hope so! 

Yeah, I do, to be honest, I will have my school bag and a notebook as we're off to Newcastle University to have a look at the library there to help us with our summer project. I'll have my NUS card as well.

£5.10 is a hell of a lot cheaper that £7, that gives me enough money for a Double Cheeseburger at McDonald's with money to spare  

(21 Jun 2015, 12:16 pm)Tom wrote Yeah I've been meaning to get a Teen Card for a while
Hopefully I'll get one by summer. £1.90 saving isn't bad. 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:17 pm)mb134 wrote They are useful like, I mean I go to Berwick regularly, don't even want to think about how much I would have spent if I didn't have my Teen Card  

Obviously there are times when it's better value to buy a day ticket, but on the whole, they're brilliant! 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:24 pm)Tom wrote It's a shame you can't order them online like. 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:29 pm)mb134 wrote Aye, they don't take very long to come in the post though. Are they allowed on the X24 or X93 yet?

(21 Jun 2015, 12:30 pm)Tom wrote Nope

(21 Jun 2015, 12:33 pm)mb134 wrote I can understand not being allowed on the X93, although it would be nice, I imagine Arriva would lose a lot of money. However with regard to the X24, on every picture I've seen it is carrying very little, allowing Teen Cards would see usage rocket in my opinion...

(21 Jun 2015, 12:34 pm)Tom wrote Yeah exactly, the X22 is always busy with young people, and as GNE offer a 90p single, thats more than likely the service they are going to use!

(21 Jun 2015, 12:35 pm)mb134 wrote Common sense doesn't always seem to prevail at Arriva though does it...

(21 Jun 2015, 12:37 pm)Tom wrote Haha not at all.

Anyway, as a consultation should be out this week for Northumberland services, what would people like to see changed?

I'm hoping something will be done with the X14. 

(21 Jun 2015, 12:39 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote They are valid on X24.

The Teen Cards normally get delivered after a couple of days.

(21 Jun 2015, 12:41 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote Full decker allocation and end of interworking with 57A and 33. And a 10 minute frequency between Morpeth and Newcastle.

That would be in an ideal world...
