Yeah, I think you are right.
Just comparing prices and comparative journeys on other routes and there is nothing that comes near to this ticket.
It is the second cheapest ticket GNE offer after Quaylink.
Good luck to them.
If GNE can make money on 59p tickets, then fantastic.
Hopefully these low fares/profits aren't subsidised by increases in other areas, particularly when the route is supporting the purchase of new deckers.
It seems strange that low fares aren't viable when it comes to QCS, but when it comes to attracting punters from a competitor...
Putting a positive slant on it, wasn't deregulation meant to do this back in 1986? Competition between operators, resulting in lower fares? Bring it on across the North East!
