That's the 19 fares there - https://we.tl/t-D9Jn19q1ou some horrid short fares. £3.10 from Seaton Delaval to Earsdon for example. It's £1.90 to £2.80 depending where you get on with the 57/57A.
Yeah I'm glad GNE had a rethink of there fare structure as some of those are ridiculous too. If you're a first time, or infrequent bus user and are getting quoted fares like that it's definitely not going to encourage you back.
