Likewise you can get a single to say Ponteland, stay on for the full route from Eldon Square to Darras Hall and get off at Ponteland on the return journey towards Eldon Square. A single ticket is valid for a single continuous trip, but is only valid on circular routes for one round trip, it wouldn't be valid when the next trip starts.
I'm not sure that would be true mind as if I bought a single from Newcastle to Cowgate Morrisons say on the X47, any stop after Cowgate you've overshot your fare.
Stagecoach's are broken but as you can see with Darlington, https://bustimes.org/services/4-darlingt...gton/fares - You can't buy fares over the loop point at all.
If it wasn't Stagecoach, you could buy a return though.
