(10 Jan 2015, 3:02 pm)idiot wrote Just been looking at the prices of tickets in Tyne and Wear.How many attempts do we need to know a service from Sunderland to Newcastle, will most likely not work...GNE tried it with X2, X3 and X36, apart from the 56, I am not convinced any Sunderland-Newcastle(apart from the 56) can/will work, can a new service realistically compete with The Metro...
I think the X34 should be extended to Sunderland. Would make another connection for Newcastle and possibly give a journey time looking at x34 and e1 timetables of just over an hour. Failing this a guaranteed connection between the two would be beneficial.
Stagecoach ticket for a week £12.90
Go North East £25.50
Metro is £20.90
I would use it as an alternative. With some plug sockets and WiFi I think it could work.
Interesting thought tho fella
