Arriva North East will implement fare changes starting January 1, 2025.
In response to customer and stakeholder feedback regarding the complexity of the single fare structure, most single fares in the region will now be set at £1.60 or £1.70 for short trips, £2.30 for slightly longer journeys, and capped at £2.50 or £3.00 for longer trips.
For journeys entirely within County Durham, Northumberland, and Tyne & Wear, the maximum single fare will be £2.50. However, for trips outside this area, including cross-boundary journeys between County Durham and the Tees Valley, the maximum fare will be £3.00.
If your current single fare is around £1.90, your new fare will be adjusted to either £1.60 or £1.70. For those paying up to £2, the new fare will be either £2.30 or capped at £2.50/£3.00.
Please note that the evening-only £1 fares in Darlington and Stockton (Service 15) will be discontinued.
Return tickets will no longer be available for purchase, but all existing day, weekly, and longer-term tickets will remain unchanged in price and zones. Additionally, the current under-21 £1 single fare schemes and £3 day tickets will continue to be offered.
