Joint ticket acceptance has been agreed between Go North East and Arriva, so that you can use your ticket on any bus regardless of who runs it – this means that if you buy a return ticket with us on a morning, you can travel home on an Arriva bus on a night, and vice versa!

(25 Mar 2023, 1:03 pm)Dan wrote Arriva’s buses have “tap on, tap off” readers whereas Go North East’s buses don’t.

I think that was the main question - is it possible for both companies to integrate their readers (if GNE was to invest in them).

Same driver as last time insisted that ToTo isn't in operation yet and I had to buy a single ticket after tapping on the reader.

Funny how it's worked every other time I've used it in-between!

Twice I've tried to tap out at Tindale Club, but because of the temporary stop being outside of McDonalds it's presumably out of the zone so doesn't let me tap out, meaning I get charged the full £2 fare.
Both times I've submitted an correction on the website and it's just been ignored.

If they still don't process it for you, then go via your bank as a disputed transaction.

(28 Jun 2023, 12:45 pm)streetdeckfan wrote The trouble is the card reader deactivates just past the traffic lights and comes back on just after the roundabout for the retail park, and obviously the temporary stop is just in between. I suppose I could tap out when we're stuck in the traffic at Tindale, but that would require me walking to the front of the bus, tapping out, then standing for 10 minutes!

It's a fair trek to any of the shops from Sainsburys, so the temporary stop outside of McDonalds is actually more convenient!
