Yes, because other multi-operator tickets don't already exist? It's hardly end of the world.
The qualifying agreement which allows this joint ticket arrangement, could have been maintained, irrespective of the timetable in place. However NECA refused to do so. Without LA agreement, a QA cannot happen, so it ends.
People still think asking NECA to run the show will somehow be better... this event alone shows how they have absolutely no idea whatsoever.

Only cause Kim and whoever sorts the whole tickets out want to silently remove this ticket and make everyone pay £7.50 which no doubt will rise when and if that ticket goes cause that's how everything works. Why make them pay £7.50 for a ticket. It'll be either 7.80 (the old Tyne & Wear Ticket before this new one was introduced) or a shocking £8.
Wouldn't shock me if it does happen
They don't want to remove it, it WILL be removed.
It was agreed at a NECA meeting back in December.
From 1 April, only the Tyne & Wear day ticket will no longer exist. Durham and Northumberland days will also increase I understand.
