Important information about your Stagecoach megarider ticket...
From 4th May 2014, the current Newcastle megarider will be valid on our buses across all of Tyne and Wear. That means you can travel as far as Newcastle Airport and on Stagecoach buses in South Shields and Sunderland too.
If you currently buy a Newcastle megarider PLUS ticket, you might find that, in the future, you can save with the cheaper Newcastle/Tyne and Wear megarider. Of course, if you do travel beyond the Airport into Northumberland (Ponteland and Darras Hall), you will still need the megarider PLUS.
Xtra customers – simply log into your account and change your chosen ticket, the next ticket issued to your smartcard will be the new one and your next payment will change accordingly. If you need any help with this, our smartcard team can be contacted at customer.support@stagecoachsmart.com or 0845 810 1000 (Calls from BT landlines are charged at a "local rate". Calls from mobiles and other operators may vary. Lines are open 0700 to 2200, 7 days a week, excluding Christmas Day.)
If you’re not sure which is the best ticket for you, simply email us and we’ll be pleased to help.
It’s time to put a spring in your step and some miles on your megarider…
Happy travelling!
Kind regards
Your team at Stagecoach North East
PS Please remember that we have to programme the ticket machines to change on a set day and this is Sunday 4th May 2014 …until then, the current boundaries will apply.
Frozen fares, extended zone boundaries saving people money... Anyone would think there was a Quality Contract proposal on the table
