If Network Ticketing oversee both the Day Rover and Explorer, why is one definitely valid and one not (possibly/maybe) valid - on the Metrocentre stretch of track?

However, on this page (http://www.networkonetickets.co.uk/big-savings) - it specifically states the Sunderland/Blaydon line is part of the network.
Who knows?
Perhaps it's down to the fact the Explorer tickets are valid outside of Tyne and Wear thus operators are entitled to a greater share of the pot?
Traditionally, only the stretch of track between Newcastle and Sunderland feel under the partial remit of Tyne and Wear PTE. It wasn't until fairly recently that Blaydon, Metrocentre and Dunston became part of the network.
