Stagecoach North East regrettably announces a fares revision to customer tickets in Darlington. These changes are effective from 22 April 2007. These ticket price rises are necessary to cover rising insurance and labour costs.

Stagecoach customers should be aware that fares will be revised as follows:

• All adult single fares will increase by 10p
• Child fares will be 1/2 adult fare, but rounded up to the nearest 5p.
• Dayrider will be £2.40
• 1-week Megarider will be £6.40
• 4-week Megardier will be £25.00

John Conroy, Managing Director of Stagecoach North East said: “While we regret having to make these fare increases, our prices overall remain very good value.

“Stagecoach provides a clear and simple bus network in the North East that is frequent and fast to aid travellers.  We recognise that buses are a crucial part of the community, helping people access work, education, healthcare, shopping and leisure opportunities.  Which is why Stagecoach invests heavily in new buses and resources to constantly improve our services."
