Pre the £2 cap starting in January 2023, most GNE fares were over £2 (largely £2.30) so, with inflation, £2.50 doesn't seem a bad price from January 2025.
Many passengers will still be able to save with the various TNE tickets.
McGuiness only announced the £2.50 fare cap a few days ago.
They must have been very efficient to do all the sums, their preparation behind the scenes and just happen to hit on the same fare as McGuiness AND be able to do the press release so quickly!
If only they were as efficient elsewhere...
