In the same period, the X34 has grown. Despite the obvious limitations with onward connections in certain areas versus the GNE offer.
Is a single not £4.80 or something between Sunderland and Newcastle too? Strange that if they want to compete with the metro they are charging ridiculous prices and as people said they seem to be providing no competition for Stagecoach/the metro.
