Out of interest, does anyone know the difference in price between say the Arriva X2 and GNE 21? Single & return between Chester and Newcastle? Or anything else like that running in direct competition?
I'm very unscientific but when GNE was £2.30 from Birtley, Arriva was £2.10. I think they may be much of a muchness now though Arriva used to be much much cheaper but its seems to have risen when they added more local stops on the route North of Chester le Street
Using that Durham Saver ticket makes Arriva far cheaper though
