Terms & Conditions

FLEXIBLE

Network One Travel Tickets are accepted by most bus operators, Metro, Sunderland to Blaydon rail line and the Shields ferry*. Just show your travel ticket and step on board.

ECONOMICAL

There is no limit on the number of journeys which can be made within the validity of your travel ticket – so the more journeys you make, the more money you will save!

Travelling outside the zones on your travel ticket

You’ll need to pay the single fare from the last stopping point in the area covered by your travel ticket to your final destination. This also applies if your journey crosses the boundary of Tyne and Wear.

Remember

When renewing your travel ticket always check that you have the correct zones before you complete your purchase on the Metro ticket machine or Mobile app.

Your travel ticket will commence from the time and date of purchase and will remain valid until midnight on the expiry date.

If your travel ticket requirements change:

A travel ticket cannot be re-issued during its validity. Simply wait until the travel ticket is due for renewal. However, if you need to change your travel ticket before it expires you will have to buy a new travel ticket and hand in the old one for a refund.
