I agree the wider boundaries are easier to understand, and I feel represent good value in the main. Still not sure with the boundary fares though. Taking the Gateshead one as an example, I can travel Blackhall Mill to Wardley and back for a bargain £4.10, but if I live in say Greenside and work on Scotswood Road that's a Tyne & Wear ticket at £5.50?

The Tyne Valley Ten RouteSaver is valid on the 12/A according to the website, but I can't see a one day option for it?
