The last time I bought a single from Chester-le-Street to Pelton (a 7/8 minute journey at the most), I paid £2.00. When I first started going out on buses by myself, I would pay £1.90 (iirc). So if it's £2.00 for such a short journey, you can understand why I don't find £2.80 for a journey from Birtley to Gateshead to be expensive.
