They're slightly cheaper in North Tyneside I believe I know that GNE have the North Tyne tickets for £4.

But it's a bit pointless when you don't have a service. The area below in red either don't have a service to Newcastle at all, it's only hourly or it takes over an hour which is unacceptable really. Yet Rake Lane and the Coast north of Whitley has 7 buses an hour... You can get a bus from Durham to Newcastle quicker than Marden to Newcastle and you can't even change to the 306/308/309/310 without travelling in the wrong direction for 15 minutes. If you took the Metro out and went buses only it would be even worse.

I don't believe there's anywhere with a Monopoly with a service that bad.

Not to keep raising the same point but I don't think Hartlepool's Stagecoach monopoly has worked out too well for them
