When i got to work i wanted to check its fleet number and I noticed that the alighting stage on the ticket was newcastle even through I asked for wreckenton. Same with 27 asked for heworth metro but alighting stage was Newcastle. Do they get funding for the difference in normal price and the £2. If so is this not a bit cheeky>>
Personally I see it as, you've paid £2 for a ticket, and it's valid for as far as £2 goes, so you get on a 57 at Heworth, pay £2 and your ticket is valid as far as Newcastle. Like others have said though, it doesn't actually matter anymore, and the ticketer machines have always been less friendly for issuing fare stages than the older machines, where it would automatically put the furthest you could get on that fare stage.
