(13 Jun 2014, 3:51 pm)Marcus I know nothing about football - just that they have park and ride buses. I can barely even name a football player (Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Nugent are the only ones that spring to mind)
In that case - I think increasing the price by double would more likely drive fans away from using the bus services to the match than actually tempt them.

(13 Jun 2014, 3:53 pm)Tom Still good value to be fair, there is sixteen home games a season, and this allows return travel on any service within Tyne and Wear. So that's about 80p for a return journey, saving about £2-£3 a day?

Why pay £5.80 to park in Central Newcastle when you could be on a @gonortheast bus from £3.75 per day & free Wi-Fi ! http://t.co/SjoRqmnkVO
GNE have just rt'd a message on twitter.

Never realised it only cost £5.80 to park in Newcastle!
It is cheaper than a GNE red & purple ticket!

(19 Jun 2014, 7:02 pm)aureolin It's alright if aimed at weekly or monthly tickets, but it's not been thought about for those who make their usual weekend trip. More than one of you travelling, or living two buzzfare zones away from the city centre, and it's cheaper to drive and park NCP.
Just catching up on the gne page and following the discussion on Houghton - Durham fares, they confirmed to the poster that Sunderland to Houghton is £3.20.

I don't believe I've paid anywhere near £5.80 to park in 'Central Newcastle'. How does one define 'Central Newcastle' anyway? Surely, centrality is relative depending on choice of destination. For example, if I want to go to visit the Central Library, parking at The Gate cannot be considered as central based upon my choice of destination. Would anyone consider Central Station to be in Central Newcastle?

(19 Jun 2014, 8:22 pm)AdamY If I really need to be parked in 'Central Newcastle' - I usually park either behind Central Station or in the Oxford Street multi-storey car-park attached to the Premier Inn. I can't remember how much Forth Street is, but I know it's cheaper than the Oxford Street multi-storey which was priced at £1.30 p/h the last time I used it.
However, on most occasions, I park for free at Rye Hill or Shieldfield depending on where I need to be. I really don't mind the walk to be honest.
