TNE Day Saver (means very little to anyone) and Day Rover just sound really archaic branding names too that mean little to Customers.

All Region Day Ticket
Tyne and Wear Day Ticket

The whole thing is a mess and it's not just the Rover. 

imo they need one set of zones which the Metro, Network, Northern Rail and TNE all use and have a set of prices of all 3. 

Then has a Bus Only, Metro + Train Only and All Models for respective zones. Other places like London can seem to manage it with Oyster but as per usual the North East has to have numerous different systems for the hell of it.

It's not as if the Metro zones are miles off where things are now. They could easily just have the new Zone D for the whole of Northumberland outside the border areas which should be in Zone C and do similar at the other side with the likes of Chester Le Street, Seaham and Piston in Zone C and the rest in Zone D and even a further outer Zone E.

If someone wants to go on a magical mystery tour trying to get from Berwick to Barnard Castle in only Zone D then good on them.
