(Yesterday, 7:05 pm)citaro5284 wrote Unsure if it related to the new Nexus fares structure, but it seems fares on NL have come down in price.

Previously from Seaton Delaval to Newcastle it was £2.50 peak and £2.10 off peak, and now it is £2.40 and £2.00.

I wonder if this will see even more people travelling on NL more.

Seems like the same price from Ashington and Bedlington aswell, bargain. Must be up there with (if not) one of the cheapest rail fares in the country. 

Just had a look at the season tickets:

Train: £19.20 per week, £73.80 per month or £768 per year 
vs 
Bus: £37.50 per week, £144.00 per month or £1444 per year

Not even remotely competitive now for frequent travellers. It's a shame the rail season tickets aren't advertised anywhere as they're a bargain really. Even if you needed to do the odd single bus journey you'd be better off with the train season tickets.
