An inflationary limit will also be set to ensure other fares are not automatically increased to £3. The cap will run until the end of 2025.
That will scuttle GNE LOL
It won't mind mind because you're assuming the fares haven't been going up in the background. Picking out your 27, these are some of the fares now:
Newcastle to Felling - £2.90
Newcastle to Heworth - £3.80
Heworth to Bill Quay - £2.30
Heworth to Monkton Lane - £2.90
Heworth to Jarrow - £3.80
Lowest fare bar Newcastle to Gateshead - £2.10
I'd assume some of them were no-where near those rip off prices before the cap.
£2.90 for a single from Newcastle to Felling is extremely poor value for money. The Metro with a Pop card is £1.80 in comparison, or £2.80 without.
