I bought a, single from town to fram on the 50, on Tuesday and it was £2 (still only £1.40 on the 64 but I can never find one, since the bus station went and the frequency dropped}. Bought a single from Fram to middlestone Moor, this morning, and it was all of £2.30.
By the look of it the minimum fare is going to be £1.90 aswell after these changes which isn't cheap at all.
There's been some hefty price increases on the fares like you mention there especially when crossing the new made up zones. The 21 used to be a cheap route not so much anymore - https://bustimes.org/services/21-durham-...ntre/fares (the 2nd bottom table is the right price).
£4.20 for a single from CLS to Newcastle is steep imo. Even the X7 from Blyth to Newcastle is only £4.10 and the singles on there have always been a rip off and that's a much longer journey.
