Birtley to Gateshead, £2, compared to £2.60 this time last year
Durham to Consett, £2.30, compared to £4 this time last year
Newcastle to Shiney Row, £3.80, compared to £4.60 this time last year
Murton to Durham, £2.30, compared to £4.70 this time last year
Gateshead to MetroCentre, £2, compared to £3.10 this time last year
The two £2.30 examples are simply far too cheap for the distance covered - has the number of passengers travelling Murton to Durham and Consett to Durham more than doubled? I bet they haven't.
Has the number of passengers travelling Birtley to Gateshead increased by 30%? Again, I doubt it - if they have the 21 would be running more frequently than every 10 minutes.
