I once had someone get on an X24 asked for a "one week", after trying to charge her £2 (thinking she said "one way"), I then charged her for a £12.50 megarider (more muscle memory than anything), it was only after I'd done all that and she'd paid that she specified she wanted the £19 one to go to Newcastle!

And while we're here, if you're getting a single please specify your destination, rather than just saying "2 quid please", it'll clear up a lot of confusion particularly if the service is cut short, or if you are gonna just ask for a £2 single and not say where to, please read the destination board.

It would help if drivers cooperated with this. Last time I took the bus from Durham to Newcastle and back, a couple of weeks ago, I asked for Eldon Square on my Newcastle bound X21 and my ticket said The Cannon. I caught the X12 home, asking for my part of Durham and my ticket was to somewhere in Birtley.
