A few years back I would often travel from Dunston to Jarrow, and I would get the 49 to Gateshead then the 27 to Jarrow.
Since I was changing at Gateshead regardless of what I used for the next journey, it would have made sense to save the 15 minutes and hop on the Metro, but it would have been double the price!
Similar situation when I had to go to Whitley Bay, I could either get the bus to Newcastle/Gateshead and change to the Metro, or take the direct bus there. I obviously chose the direct bus even though it took considerably longer.
Aye I'll give you that mind, luckily the new tickets coming in should fix that pretty much. Believe it would be cheaper now than the similar GNE ticket or whatever to do long distances or be near it at least.
It's an explorer job out here right now pretty much which is just a rip off because of the boundary tax as I like calling it pretty much (live like a mile into Northumberland).
