RE: Pricing - GuyParkRoyal - 10 Jun 2015
(10 Jun 2015, 8:28 am)aureolin What was the fare out of interest?
£1.45 on Stanley Travel.
The last time I used the GNE service it was £1.50 but that was before the recent price increases.

It'll still be £1.50 - that fare hasn't been increased.

(01 Jul 2015, 7:30 am)Davie Does anybody know how long it takes on services X20/20 from Newcastle - Amble, and how much would it cost?
1hr 23mins, £7.70 return.
£7 ticket is only valid as far as Ellington, £7.70 ticket is valid on all Arriva North East buses.

It's £7.00 return to Alnwick so it won't be £7.70 to Amble.

That's a day ticket not a return.
If it's £7.00 return to Alnwick then surely it can't be £7.70 return to Amble (then again this is Arriva).

When I went to Alnwick on service X15 it was £7.00.

Yeah I think it's £5-£6 single.

It's only £7 for a day ticket, the £7.70 day ticket, if I recall correctly, covers all of Northumberland, up to Berwick.

The return price should be less than or equal to the day ticket price. We had several that were over until they got cut down last year! Middlesbrough to Guisborough was £6.40 but is now £5.70 (£3.70 single) the same as the day ticket price. For expensive fares how's about Guisborough to Nunthorpe, 10 min journey and is £3.20 :s

Aye, a lot of fares crossing the boundaries are very expensive too. Does the route between Guisborough and Nunthope cross any boundaries?
Regent Centre-Morpeth is £5.10 and that's only a 20 min journey!

Yup Redcar to Middlesbrough council boundary. It's only 50p more to go all the way from Easington to Middlesbrough, over an hour travelling time.

RE: Pricing - R852 PRG - 26 Jul 2015
The price for an adult single between Chester-le-Street and Durham on the Go North East 21 service is £3.20, and a return is £4.50. On the Arriva ''MAX'' X12 service, the price of an adult single is £2.80 from Chester-le-Street to Durham, while a return is £5.10. Am I the only one noticing the seemingly big difference between the two singles and then the returns? With Go North East, the return for that journey is better value for money than the Arriva service, but for a single; the Arriva fare is easier on your wallet.

Should be £5 as the X12 day ticket is £5...

According to a tweet I made to Arriva North East a few months ago, a return for that journey is £5.10. I'm guessing it was a typo.

The good folks that manage Arriva's Social Media pages haven't got a clue at the best of times...
Said this a thousand times now, but it's about time Arriva let the individual op-cos manage their own Social Media pages and Customer Services.
RE: Pricing - Tom - 26 Jul 2015
The pricing on the Coaster doesn't make sense either:
From where I get on (Churchill Street), its £1.50 to Byker Retail Park, but £2.80 to the next stop on Shields Road. Surely that needs looking at, as £1.30 is a big jump for one stop.
