Only found after checking mind. I wasn't sure if the payments made by Nexus was for a period (some sort of overlap), but it appears not.

I'm surprised its not better publicised from both Nexus and Go North East. Its an extra benefit and incentive for people buying Metro tickets while for GNE its additional revenue and once people are on the bus they can promote the full Quaylink and other GNE services to potential passengers.
