Aye, no arguments, that was aimed at people who live near the line rather than further away. No-one knows on fares yet, there's been talk of it being part of the Metro fare zones in the past though.
I can't see there being too much change though, maybe the X21/X22 down to every 30 minutes each and a rejig of some of the Blyth expresses to reduce the number heading between Cramlington and Blyth. If you timetabled the X21/X22 to interwork with the 1 and 2 then there'd still be 4 BPH on common areas.
