The thing is, to me at least it's abundantly clear that it is a Gateshead Borough ticket. It would be more of a false advertisement for it to be valid in Newcastle. I've seen plenty of people shocked or almost insulted when their ticket won't scan in the town and when the driver has checked the ticket it's a Gateshead Day Saver. Something to the effect of:

"Can't use that here"
"Why not?"
"Because this is Newcastle, not Gateshead"

As for the map, you can see from rest of the boundary mirroring the route of the river that at no point does it cross into the Tyne, nevermind over it.
