No it's not. Travelling between Newcastle and Gateshead is a "short-hop" fare at the most. This just happens to be one which is clearly defined.

That means it was definitely, in my eyes, a conscious effort to add confusion to the map

That's a lot clearer to understand and, in reality, Newcastle doesn't actually need to be in a bubble at all.
