1) A map that merged Newcastle and Gateshead into one super bubble
2) A ‘Sunderland District’ ticket that actually goes into County Durham. 

There’s something to be said though about how many zones they’re are now, whilst I appreciate cheaper bus travel. In Seaham, you now have the option of the following day tickets: 

• Seaham and Murton: £4.00
  
• Sunderland District: £4.00
  
• County Durham: £5.00
  
• Red Zone: £5.30
  
• All Zone: £7.00 
  

There’s a fear of too many options. I mean I guess the Sunderland District and County Durham are temporary options, for now.

Think the 'Super Bubble wasn't great but still a storm in a tea cup. Agreed that the Sunderland ticket should end at the County Boundary, but we've got to remember that the aim of these fares is to encourage people back onto the buses and I think GNE have taken the decision to allow this to be included for that reason.
