50/50 its close, but still benefits those on a determined route. If you live in rural Northumberland this is a win for Newcastle travellers. Of course it has it's disadvantages. A simpler bonus for me would be Washington Galleries, £2 either way on 39B or 2/2A against the increased City of Sunderland day ticket at £4.70
