(30 Jul 2015, 10:25 am)Dan wrote Under a Quality Contracts Scheme, Nexus proposes that a journey between Birtley and Gateshead would cover three zones (A, B and C). In 2012, Nexus proposed that a single fare on one mode of transport would cost £2.50. An inflation calculator would suggest that £2.50 in 2012 is now worth £2.72. One would therefore suggest that the fare, under Quality Contracts, would either be £2.70, £2.75 or £2.80 (pretty damn close to the present fare of £2.80!)
Not quite sure how QCS got brought on to this, as I was simply giving my opinion on £2.80 from Birtley to Gateshead being too expensive. I actually think that £2.50 is also too expensive, but Birtley is one of those strange places in terms of geography.
