Arriva's Durham zones are strange like that. For my Durham District ticket, I can get in and out of Durham, to Bishop Auckland, and also to Newcastle/Metrocentre on X12/X24. Someone who lives 5/6 mile from Durham in a slightly different direction, and they need a county wide pass. I realise that the boundaries need to be drawn somewhere, but I do feel there could be a little more logic shown.
