It is advertised as a Gateshead Borough ticket, yet the ticket includes Springwell, which lies outside the Borough of Gateshead.
A small point of contention, perhaps. But if you're going to use the "Newcastle isn't the Borough of Gatehsead" argument, then you must accept that neither is Springwell and, ergo, your argument is flawed.
As has already been mentioned, Springwell is in the City of Sunderland, yet it has an NE postcode. The same applies to Washington but I would suspect more people would kick up a fuss if they were excluded from this offer in terms of travelling to Gateshead which I believe will be the more popular sevice from Springwell.
As you will also notice above, it looks as if the boundary is actually Springwell itself so you can use both zones for your full journey to either Gateshead or Sunderland - that's TBC though.
My main point is that the criticism of the map in regards to Newcastle and Gateshead is overblown and I stand by that.
