Customers are advised of upcoming changes to some fares within County Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland areas, with effect from Sunday 20th November.

Our previous fare increase in the Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and County Durham areas was in January 2022 and was a conservative increase, much lower than the growing CPI rate at the time, with the expectation that Arriva could minimise the level of cost increase passing on to our customers. Regretfully, since then, costs such as fuel and utilities have continued to increase and as a result the difficult decision has been taken to undertake this additional fare revision.

Adult and Child single fares will increase between 10p and 70p, along with return tickets increasing between 20p and 80p. Most existing zonal products will also see an increase, of which some of these were previously frozen in price back in January, details are shown in the table below.

Young Persons/Student Saver zonal tickets will not change, neither will any fares or zonal products within Tees Valley and North Yorkshire.
