Kudos for the driver pointing out the cheaper fares, but his colleague may have got the operator mixed up.
Effective branding?

I keep coming back to the same point, but if it is £1.50 between the Ramside and Durham on a 15min/3.5m trip how on earth does it cost another £2.60 to travel a mere 15mins/4.5miles up the road?
It certainly doesn't cost £2.60 to travel between Houghton and the Ramside! It is a tad more expensive than that. If anyone can guess how much it is, you can have 50 #NEBpoints.
I wonder if Anthony Smiths colleague would have been as impressed if he/she had to pay the £4.10 fare?
