It’s quite sad when Gateshead Central have become the best operator in the area.
Yes, exactly. I know. Absolutely shocking it's £5.70 when the day rover is £6. Of course the day rover is going up to £6.80 next month, but no doubt GNE will put their fares up soon after. Same with Stagecoach, £5.20 for Newcastle and North Tyneside (but maybe that includes Cramlington?) but for comparable journeys, a day rover is the best value ticket in North Tyneside.
Gateshead Central have really improved. They do run a really good service in Newcastle and North Tyneside and the fares are good (I'm aware that's Nexus rather than Gateshead Central). Modern fleet, reliable and punctual service. Wonder if the E200 MMCs off the 342 will operate the 35 and M71. Curious if the buses will be Nexus livery or white on the 35 and M71. X46 has gone from StreetLite WF to E200 MMC recently.

EDIT Go North East £5.70 ticket includes Blyth and Cramlington, so is the same equivalent as Stagecoach's £5.20 ticket. Regardless, within North Tyneside a day rover offers the best value. Price being so close is presumably because it covers Blyth and Cramlington.
